New 8x8 Outside Enclosure

It took us a day to move out her enclosure that was in our room (I believe it was 6x4ft) and took us another day to build the outside enclosure. She was starting to outgrow the inside one, and we figured since we live in socal it would be perfect for her in the Summer.

Moving out wasn't easy. There were layers and layers of packed dirt.

But as soon as we moved out, we started outside.

Then we added some cover:

She seemed pleased:

And voila!

It was about $120 investment, and took two days to build. Totally worth it. :)

WHAT??? That's awesome! I'm more in the Yucaipa area but I'm always in Redlands. :)

She's actually being really skittish, but I'm guessing it's due to the change. We should TOTALLY meet up! Where in Redlands are you? More so downtown?

Yeah it takes them a bit of time to settle in and get used to the new surroundings! Give her a few weeks and she'll be good to go! :)

Yeah I'm near Olive Avenue Market in Redlands.

So could we possibly see some additional photos of your enclosure? I'm going to start a similar project soon and I really like what you've done!
