: So I went to turtle homes (for canada) and started filling out the application form. But it said a picture of enclosure was "mandatory" but I don't have any turtles, so I have no enclosure.

: I have no idea what kind of turtles even need a home, so I have not built an actual enclosure, although lights/heaters/food/vet expenses are all readily available to me, I just didn't think building an enclosure before knowing even what type/size/age/special need/ etc boxie I might get would be the best idea. Anyone know if they will look at applications otherwise? I am very capable of providing what a turtle/tortoise needs. I just would prefer to adopt. So any links or ideas would help. I am in Canada! ;o)

What they want is you to have something ready in case a turtle becomes available for you. Can you provide outdoor accomodations during the summer? (this is best for them) if so you should make one, and then take pictures of it. They will accept 'in progress' pictures. If you need to keep indoors, you'd need about a 50 gal aquarium, or a similar size rubbermaid style tub. There are pictures of enclosures out there if you do some searches. Take a look at these links for ideas.
