I'm currently in the process of constructing a new table for my red foot tortoise. I'm going to put in a uvb fluorescent tube but I'm having a problem with actual figuring how to fix the tube to the table. I don't want to use a fixed plastic tube holder as they're heavy, limit how long a tube...

I'm adopting a Russian male soon (hopefully this week. first tortoise) and just I finished building my tortoise table. It's 6.5' x 3.5', a little smaller than the recommended 4' x 8' but he will spend a lot of the summer outside in a 4' x 8' so I am not too worried. I'm not sure how to...

Hi everyone! I'm struggling to find somewhere to keep my spur-thighed tortoises when it is too cold to let them go in the garden at night. What is best to keep them in a vivarium or tortoise table? Also what sizes are needed? I read that a vivarium does not allow enough ventilation, but a...

Hey y'all. Im building a tortoise table. How large should it be for 2 adult leopard tortoises. They will be inside during the colder months, but outside for spring, summer, and fall.

Hi! I have just collected 2 tortoises and I am overjoyed! I was given them by a friend who could no longer look after them but I felt very ill prepared! Been to the reptile shop to get advice and before they moved in managed the following set up: -Tort table (approx 4ft by 2ft) -Corn...

When can a golden Greek be moved to an open tortoise table? Mine is still just a hatchling and he’s in a enclosed chamber for humidity, but I was wondering when he should be switched to an open aired tortoise table? Thanks!!

I'm going to built my 7 year old female red foot tortoise a new tortoise table and I'm wondering what heat bulb/lamp is recommended, and what wattage/heat it would need to be, I got recommended a ceramic bulb would be best as it gives out no light. Also what type of UV bulb should I get, a...

Hi everyone, Just looking for some comments/opinions on an idea I've been having. I'm building a new tortoise table for a young hermanns, and am thinking about constructing a small 'river' flowing through part of it, with a small pump to allow for a continuous flow. Not only would this provide...

Hello! This is Eli, my Hermanns that I believe was hatched in October. After weighing him I realized that he weighs a bit more than he should for his size which is resulting in some slightly odd shell growth (hard to get a good picture of). I was wondering what more experienced people do to...

So I'm planning on having a Tortoise very soon, so I want to build a Tortoise Table in my room, but I have one question. is 160 cm x 70 cm big enough?

I have a 6 year old red foot tortoise and I'm upgrading her tortoise table, I'm stuck between a table and a vivarium, I know everyone says a table is better and a vivarium can stress tortoises out but vivarium can keep the humidity in. What type of heat bulb would you guys recommend? I made a...

At some point, I realized tortoise table was a website, and I love it. I just want to make sure the foods on there are safe for all species.
