Thanks everyone .... will purchase a plant or 2 !!!!!!

Chery, where do you get a spiderplant???Would the regular nursery have them?? ALso do you put it in a pot in the enclosure, because I can't just plant it in the dirt and then water it??

Hi guys, so I had a Tortoise table made for my Russian....I attached a few pics. It has a house with a ramp which is awesome....It is 2 feet (24in) wide by 4.5 feet (52 in) long. I put hay in the house since Willie loves to hide in it .....My bedding is a mixture of play-sand and forest bedding...

thanks guys....this is an awesome source of info

guys, I am only using a little bit of reptile carpet underneath a ramp (to make cleaning easier), 70 % of the enclosure is a mixture of forest bedding and play-sand and he also has hay in his house....no worrys

Hi guys, for those of you that have REPTILE carpet in your enclosures, what do you put on the bottom to make it stick to the surface??? Mine rolls up funny....

Tile sounds like a good plan to me too !!!! Thanks everyone...will place a pic here once I get to pick up my new tortoise habitat tomorrow......

Thanks Yvonne, I had not even thought about water-proof paint. I am currently having an enclosure built, it will be ready for pick-up tomorrow. I will post pics here when I get him settled. Sooo excited!!! Willie can get out of his blue wading pool into a bigger place with a 2nd story !! LOL

For those of you that have a wooden enclosure, what do you use to put on the bottom before you put the mulch on top, so that no wetness seaks in??? Reptile carpet or a plastic tarp?:tort:

I do not know the dimensions of the one in the picture shown, but mine is going to be the following: 2 feet (24 inches) WIDE 4 1/2 feet (54 inches) LONG 10 inches HIGH that just works best for the space I have.

Thanks for all the replies guys....The person who will make it for me won't get to it for another couple of weeks. Once I have it I will make plenty of pics to share here....He will charge me $150 US for it!!! Which I think is very reasonable..... I don't have a UVB bulb, just a UVB light...

WOW, I love that tortoise table, did you end up getting it? Can I ask where you purchased it ??? Sounds like your from England and not the USA???

oh shoot, I wasn't even thinking about the exhaust....we have a 3 car garage, but keep 2 cars parked in there. But I have been keeping the smaller garage door cracked open ca 5 feet when WIllie has been in there in his habitat, for fresh air and natural light....

Hey guys, QUESTION -- could I leave my indoor habitat in the garage for the spring/summer season??? I live in Washington State and during the nice month of the year I like to bring him outside during the day and it is easier for me when his indoor enclosure is in the garage?????

Thanks guys, that gives me an idea...I was also debating on only making half of the enclosure soil and the other half reptile carpeting...this should also cut down on the amount of dust!

Hey everyone....question on bedding...I currently use half playsand, half forest bedding for my Russian....I find that it creates a lot of dust though....Is there other beddings you guys can reccomend? I know that the green pellets are not supposed to be that good for them and also they get...
