Thought you might find these pens interesting. These are the pens that the late Jill Martin and myself designed and constructed. At one point we had over 400 tortoises of many different species (all separate, of course). This is just a few of the various habitats we had. Since Jill's passing, I no longer maintain large numbers of animals, preferring instead to concentrate on a few selected species and other research projects.
 The Testudo kleinmanni outdoor habitat.  Inside the arid zone Polytunnel.  Testudo hermanni nesting in arid Polytunnel.  Inside the tropical Polytunnel (heated in winter).  Some of the outdoor hatchling pens (predator proofed)  Mediterranean tortoise pens (on slope).  The mini-greenhouses provided in all pens.  The artificial (and natural) burrows provided in all pens.  The vegetation in early summer.  Another view of the Mediterranean tortoise pens, showing slope + vegetation. Many of these pens were planted with Lin King's excellent "T-Lady" seed mix, by the way. A lot of attention was paid to getting substrates right, and to ensuring adequate temperatures for breeding. We were also able to induce 'natural' estivation cycles in the arid polytunnel. This was excellent for breeding T. horsfieldii and T. whitei, as well as Libyan T. cyranaica. Andy Highfield www.tortoisetrust.org

Thanks so much Andy these are great.
 What land I have got I want things right I have a large garden but it will be divided up for obvious reasons. I have been surfing the net for decent pics but few are actually out there. I think I am becoming obsessed with wanting to make it the best I can with what resources I have.  I have not yet been to sleep since yesturday morning as ideas are going through my head and trying to iron out possible problems I am facing. Such as flooding in the lower part of the garden.  Once I have finished I am sure it won't be perfect, as nothing more than their normal habitat will be that I just want to do what I can. I am rambling now sorry. Lack of sleep I guess. Quote:
