I just finished this enclosure, made in a kiddie pool, for my two new Easterns. They are around 3 years old, CBB of course. I loved the names Squirtle & Yurtle so much I couldn't resist using them again. So here are Squirtle the 2nd & Yurtle the 2nd in their new enclosure. I know they'll need something bigger soon, but this was what I could manage for now.

The pool is a little over 4x3. The substrate is topsoil (chemical free), there's a crookneck squash plant, a grape tomato plant, an asparagus fern, 2 water dishes, 2 hides & a light weight rock slab. The substrate is about 6 inches deep. I added 2 containers of nightcrawlers & bunch of yard bugs to the soil. I have a weighted down wood frame lid made with hardware wire for protection & escape-proofing.

Please tell me what you think.
