Our tortoise table is 3 foot wide by 5 foot long with 18 or so inch high walls. We covered it with kitchen linoleum to waterproof it and protect the wood. Just two weeks ago we installed a ramp leading to an upper level, which is the ceiling of her sleeping quarters. This has become her permanent feeding zone. Below the upper level is her sleeping quarters, which is stuffed full of timothy hay - she buries herself to sleep in it every night, though I wonder if it might be too dry for a Russian. Soon at the opposite end, we will be adding a lower level. This will make her table three-tiered, having a lower level, a mid level, and a high level. I love the coconut husk substrate because it's so easy to maintain the humidity level by misting with a spray bottle.
