Well here at the tortoise sanctuary we recieved a little bit of funding. So me being a go getter started to construct the new exhibit for either Large aldabras, and or galapagos tortoises, so when schools come out for field trips can see the true image of a tortoise at our facilities. Unfortunately the donation is barely enough to complete the enclosure and building. Luckily I will fund a vast majority of the rest.
I have cleared the trees and added 45 more feet in width to the enclosure area, as well as not to enclude the pond I dug for the animals, as it is too deep. The building is formed up, pouring concrete this weekend, and framing after it cures the following week.
Currently the enclosure is 127' long and 85' wide, with a side yard of covered trees behind the sulcata and leopard building that is 14' by 107'.
These are progress photos, so dont worry their will be a perimeter fence placed in front of the barb wire fence.
Any suggestions on anything would be great.
I wanted to make a built up planter in the middle of the enclosure about 30 feet in front of the enclosure and fill it with palms,banana trees, and maybe crape murtyle trees.
Im going to seed this area with a graze grass mix, as well as irrigate the area with baseball field sprinkler heads for maximum "rain" coverage.
Well lets here some options from people.
