Default Finally complete

Apart from the back wall with the bricks, i intend to make the sandy area part of their enclosure to but need to raise the height of the wall around the enclosure, the torts love sunning themselves in this area. I put a 5ft x 2ft polycarbonate sheet over the ramp door section on the enclosure and place bricks on top to hold it down when it's raining so they can still come out in wet weather the same as I do in the adults enclosure, I've also changed the gravel to green slate...







The bind weed is climbing up the trellis in the adult enclosure nicely, I do cut off long trailers so the torts don't strangle themselves in it lol...
