I wanted to discuss fencing options for larger tortoises like Aldabras and Galapagos.
I know that the best option for fencing is wood. Easy on the shell, they can't see through it or climb and so on. Most places that I have gone to visit larger tortoises seem to use at least some amount of chain link fencing though. When I scroll through pictures in this forum I see mostly wood but I also see chain link, wire horse fence and even wire field fence too.
Is there a size when it is considered safe to use non wood fencing for large tortoise species? Is it when their arms or limbs don't fit though the openings?
