Here are some of my outdoor enclosures that are cheap and good outdoor enclosures for my tortoises. The two small enclosures seen in the pictures cost me $20 a piece, as they are raised garden bed kits but are prefect for small tortoises and hatchlings. I keep 2 small Greek tortoises in one an my star resides in. I do bring them in at night though. I also keep some water dishes in there for them to drink out of. Hides are also provided. My other enclosure is for my 2 sulcatas and is 8'X8' and I have planted hibiscus plants and mullberry plant also. They also have a hide in the corner and a saucer for water. Enjoy!

I like your enclosures. The only problem I had with that style is that the ground has to be perfectly flat and level or there were gaps under the edges of mine.

Great looking tortoise. Larry's tortoises have produced some nice specimens.

Yeah Tom I had the same problem- that was the hardest part of placing those enclosures on my yard without having to dig or anything. Oddly i found 2 places where there was no gaps for them to escape under on my yard. Right now, the enclosures i have fit the bill for my tortoises. I eventually plan on upgrading to a larger custom built one for them when they get bigger.
