I have tops on all of my enclosures, and padlocks to lock them down, as with the theives, I would think they would cut the lock on the shed with thousands of dollars worth of tools in it before a tortoise cage.
I have what im doing designed, but I had to make something strong, we have Bears, Coyotes, Mountain Lions, Neighbors Dogs, Domestic Wild Dogs, Racoons, Fox, Possum, Skunk, Hawk, Eagle, Owl, and many many other predators.
Thanks! I am going to be making a tortoise/turtle "area" of the yard which is about 2 acres. It is at the woods line so there is massive Oaks, Sweetgums, and Pine around it to shade half the enclosure. The spot I chose to make the area there are spots with full shade all day and full sun all day...
First if you have not red the previous thread I am making a enclosure for adult Home's Hingeback Tortoises. (Kinixys homeana). I have decided what I am making for the walls of the enclosure. I will be taking 2 in. x 10 in. x 8 ft. boards for the walls, and I will be making the above ground walls...
What im thinking of making is using 2x4's for posts, then burrow a 2x10 underground then 2 2x10s above ground, and the pen would be around a 20 ft x 20 ft area then make smaller pens on the inside.
I am making a outdoor enclosure for a 1.1 pair of Home's Hingeback Tortoises (Kinixys homeana) and I have a budget of 100$ MAX for the enclosure. All the ideas I came up with was 200$ for the enclosure! Anyone have any ideas for enclosures?
mine dont "swim" they float and paddle lol I have a pond in my eastern box turtle enclosure and whenever I throw in my aquatic turtle food for my red eared sliders the eastern box turtles jump in and eat it with the red ears.
