Heya it’s 2 metres so I’ll need to add another light. How am I securing the bars across the enclosure, I can’t see where to fix metal rings so they can be moved up and down?
Hello, our lights have arrived - I have the Jungle Dawn 470mm and Pro T5 39W. I’m thinking of placement - both across the centre of the enclosure or Jungle Dawn at the basking end? I have a carpenter coming on Monday to add a hanging structure. I feel like it’s going to be easier to hang them...
Hello, thank you all for the advice so far. The table was delivered today and it looks super. We have Arcadia Pro T5 Desert 12% lamp on order and I’m stuck on LED lights. Can someone recommend two spotlight options, one for each end of the enclosure? Or if I got Arcadia Jungle Dawn, what size...
Thank you so much this is so helpful. He already has a 100W Lotvic basking lamp - is this fine? In terms of placement, where would you suggest these things go and how would you do that - are there metal structures I can order online to fix to the table? With the ability to move things up and...
Hello,
I have recently rehomed a 12yo tortoise and have had this new enclosure made for him. Please can someone advise me on what heating and lights are needed and where/how to place them? I’m going round in circles with my research! Attached a pic of the tortoise too.
Thank you so much!

Yes I think I’ll scrap that short-lived balcony idea, as nice as it was - not sure we’ve even seen 75f this year 😆 I’ve had a quick look for large vivariums and can only find 4ft - are there any recommended sites I can look at? Or plans I can buy for a carpenter friend to build? (I think I might...
At what temperature do they need to be brought indoors? I wonder if it’s worth it or if we should just invest in a bigger inside enclosure given the weather here
Thank you for your replies this is very helpful. I have a balcony which is sheltered but also gets direct sunlight through the day. I was thinking this could be a great spot to build a new enclosure for an indoor/outdoor sort of experience - what do you think?
Hello,
I have recently started looking after a male tortoise, he is 10yo and had not been kept properly - I’ve discovered now that I’ve done a lot of research. This site has been very helpful!
This is his set up now - substrate is top soil and coco coir and I am aiming to soak him every other...
