Welcome to the Enclosures & Habitats photo galleries, a library of online photos (with informative captions) showcasing private, institutional and professional enclosures and the natural habitats of wild turtles and tortoises. Whether you're after ideas in the setups of fellow hobbyists, inspiration from professional enclosures at public institutions (i.e.: Zoos and Aquariums) or insight into where and how turtles live in nature, we've got something for you here. Our galleries are organized into individual index pages in these categories:

• Private Collection Enclosures - Setups designed by private hobbyists, mainly for keeping pet turtles.
• Institutional Collection Enclosures - Enclosures on display at Zoos, Aquariums and other public facilities. We seldom get the 'insiders' scoop' on details like lighting, filtration and construction materials, but we can still learn from the style and content.
• Professional Enclosures - Those enclosures that stand out by scope, advanced design or other merit, ideally about which we have more details than are available about most Zoo setups.
• North American Aquatic Habitat - A look at the wild habitat of native North American turtles. Many of these species are highly prominent in the hobby world-wide, and understanding the habitats aids enclosure design.
• North American Terrestrial Habitat - A look at the wild habitat of North American box turtles, tortoises and those semi-aquatic species who spend substantial time on land.
• Exotic Locales - A look at the wild habitats of non-North American species.
