Alright.. so I’m not an expert or anything but one thing I know for sure is that your table is probably two small, I have a table that’s for by four and that’s still too small ( I’m in the process of adding another level) what age and type of tortoise do you have?

Haha ? hmmm maybe but maybe he’s a person in disguise ?
