I am looking for pics or designs on 2 level tortoise tables. Mainly how the tortoises get up and down the ramps and if there are any issues with them?
How high above the 2nd level can be or if they would even use it?
Thanks for any help or advice you guys can give :)

Hi mate,
There was a thread similar to this a couple of weeks back, scroll through enclosures and you'll find it. I think most keepers reccomend a 1:4 ratio(H to L), although I've seen successful ones at 1:3 and 1:2.

Just put 2 level tortoise tables in the search box and you will find it easy. I just looked and it's pretty cool!

I went through the search bar already and some previous posts. Im looking for someone who did this with adult redfoots or other larger tortoises.
Ive tried ramps before but it seems the slope is always too much for the big girls to get up where the smaller ones can race right by.
Anyone with bigger torts use this idea? Do they use the 2nd level much?

Forum member AustinASU just designed a GREAT 2 level tort table for me. It's 6 ft by 3 ft, and will be my Hermann's winter enclosure next year. If you scroll through the enclosure threads you might find it. Or you could pm him.
