How big is your tortoise table?

[djhoff22]

Hey guys,
Not sure if I'm posting in the right section.

I am looking to make a tortoise table however I need some ideas. Please post pictures of your tortoise tables along with measurements and species whom it was built for.

Also, were can I buy plants and flowers that are tortoise friendly; free of pestacides.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your advice.

Thanks!
Diana

mine is 3x6 feet it's a greenhhouse i got on amazon then built a raised garden bed to connect it to it's for a redfoot depending on which species a open table top isn't the best way to go

in your pic it looks like a redfoot? or cherryhead? you'll want a closed chamber to be able to hold ambient heat and humidity for smooth growth the green house cost 48 dollars on amazon with free shipping and i made the garden bed out of wood i had laying around then lined the bottom with plastic. the actual meassurments are 71x36 it's 1 inch off being 6 foot

i can hold heat and humidity no problems i hold them so well in fact i haven't had to mist or anything for humidity since getting the new enclosure if you have any questions feel free to ask

im not sure where you can buy plants free of pesticide either you can try looking up organic plant nursery's near you

That looks awesome. Yes, its for a cherryhead tort...I've been thinking of ways to retain humidity and heat for the enclosure I want to build.

It's probably a silly question but should I be worried about the plastic catching fire from the lamps? In your enclosure do you use a heat emmiter and basking light?

it's not touching the plastic so you should be fine i use a heat emitter and a day time bulb for basking yes
