This is a picture of my Red-footed Tortoise pen/enclosure. The grass is tropical carpet grass, to the far left corner is a hiding spot behind the tree stump (covered with pothos and orchids), the small palm trees provide some shade along the back, between the palms and the grass are some succulents for snacking, to the far right are ferns for more concealment, behind the ferns is a muddy area for soaking. The pool area is only accessable in one area and is a very shallow graduation to the semi aquatic turtle area. In the pool there are basking sites so the different turtles rarely ever come into contact with each other (they don't like the long shallow graduation to the deep water. The netting is needed because of the intense tropical sun which would cook the turtles, tortoises and fish, but they still receive about 3-4 hours of sunlight a day- morning sun.

Cheers,
Michael
