Looks really stylish, I like it :> Only 2 things concern me here. There is a lot of open space where variables such as temperature and humidity can escape the table and cannot be manipulated properly. This can probably be fixed by putting a little plexiglass or some other form of cover around it...
Given 2 different variables, there really isn't much we can decide about if it is a healthy size or not. However, from looking at the tortoise it is pretty young, probably 3-4 months. I am no expert though. It does look healthy, but it is really hard to disfigure a shell within 3-4 months of...
I have read the majority of them, most before I even purchased my tortoise. They are great posts, and thank you for at least pointing me in the right direction.
