We made this for our 4 Sulcatas
Almost done just need to add a incandescent flood bulb to add more light
to whole enclosure and put in my ceramic heat bulb ( I forgot to buy the hooks for the wires...will get tomorrow!)Trying to get the humidity up I'm going to cover it with heavy duty plastic from home depot as well.

Anything else I should add?

Looks Great but Sulcata's dont get along together.
Sometimes they will fight and bully each other, till the point one gets very ill or even dies.

Hi Grace:

That's a pretty nice tort table. Let's see how long it lasts before they out grow it.

Oooo-la-la! Looks awesome! I kinda want to pack my bags and move in! What kind of plant is in the glass?



It's a grass/weed seed mix I got from ATC, I grow them in the little jars .
They like the spider plant for hiding and nibble on the ice plant in there.



Thanks everyone my husband did a great job ;)
We know they will outgrow it fast but we have lots of room in the backyard for separate enclosures when they get bigger!

I am looking to buy a greek tortoise and I was wondering if you could give me the measurements of your habitat. I could not find any suitable tables on the internet so i think i will have to make one. I am 12 and no construction worker so I will need all the help i can get.
Thanks!

Mr.Moo: I give you a lot of credit for taking this upon yourself. Have you also looked through the "enclosure" section? There are lots of ideas for good enclosures there too.

Looks good! What are the dimensions?

Covering it like you said will definitely help raise the humidity.

Feel free to share more pictures as you go along!

Thanks!

It's a bit big 3 feet by 8 feet long.
My husband made the whole thing with plywood and 4x4's ,he had the people at home depot cut it.
Here's the actual link to build it from carolina pet supply, you can always make it smaller if you need too. My husband said it was pretty easy. Gook Luck!
