Finished the wooden top structure for the enclosure for the soon to come land turtle.

It will get a kind of net to it (its purpose is to keep cats and birds of prey from messing with the turtle)

Made of white oak, with plenty of joinery and braces to keep it strong and stable.

Still a finishing here or there but I think I’ll leave it more or less rough sawn an untreated.

I hate to ask, but is that enough space for a tortoise? They're natural roamers.

No you’re right. We’re already aware and plan the extension. I guess I’ll have to do it next year.

We’ll get a turtle from a reptile rescue center and they plan on giving us a younger one to make that time plan work.
