Nice habitat! But my property is definitely not safe for an outdoor enclosure (wild dogs, hawks, coons, etc).View attachment 184371
This is the inside of a juvenile/yearling outdoor enclosure. Pretty basic and simple.
Size: 3' x 3'
Materials:
Wood - maybe $20
Hardware cloth - $3-5 5ft roll
Plants: I get whatever is on sale and clearance suitable for the location. The hosta was $3 the ivy was $1.50 and the Japanese spurge was a 6 pack on sale for $3
Leftover hide from garage sale $1
Terra cotta dish got from Kmart going out of business was like $.35
River Rock $2 for big bag
Throw in some rocks, sticks, leaves, etc. I borrowed from Mother Nature your good

This is a 8' x 16' I built this year for my new ornate box turtle.
I got the pond liner free off of Craigslist(curb alert). Waited till the landscaping timbers were on sale at lowes at $2.50 a piece and pieced in the plants. Heck I got the sedum for around the pond for $2 on clearance at lowes. If your patient, there are plenty of deals and cheap items that can be done to make an enclosure. This enclosure isn't even finished, should get better with each growing season. There are so many ways to build an affordable enclosure.
