Ok here is whats been done so far on my Redfoot outdoor enclosure project. It is 5 x 15 and the substrate is half dirt and half coco coir. The heated house is around 80 every night. I do need help fixing my little water hole problem. they have a hard time getting out. I recently put stones in em to make it more shallow but they still have a hard time. Im thinking of putting sand paper. What do you think? Also I need more Ideas. I closed off a part of it to plant some seeds. Cant wait to hear your imput TFO!

Here are some pics:

WOW! that really looks great, they look so happy! The water situation is tough, I use a shallow terra cotta dish, like what goes under a big planter. Mine keeps outgrowing whatever solution I come up with.
your torts look very vibrant, what lovely carapaces.

I would add some plants, while your waiting for the others to grow. Otherwise it looks great. How about a large piece of Patio cement block/paver for the torts to get out of the pond? Or if you can construct a water proof board with strips of smaller board across, like stairs.
