My first tort is here meet marley :)

[cmitch]

This is my baby marley he or she is about 5 inch i made a very temperary tortoise table out of a bookshelf im also using 100w self ballasted mercury vapor uvb uva lamp, and a 100w red heat light i will turn on at night. I have lots of other stuff i got a turtle cuttle bone, eye drops, masuri food, calcuium spray for food, a veggie supplement, and i plan on feeding him mainly greens like kale, romaine, mustard, collard greens. By next month i want to have a custom built 6x4 foot table and get him a little friend maybe cherryhead tell me if this looks alright any constructive critisism is greatly appreciated.

Maybe you should change the water dish to a shallow terecata dish/plantern pot (I think it's called) (you can find one at Walmart) Like this:

 

[cmitch]

Thank you I'll look for one

 

[Nixxy]

That's a good idea, I should probably pick one of those up, too. =]

 

[wheezysmomma]

you will totally not regret the terracotta planter bottoms try to get glazed its easier to get the poop off

 

[Mgridgaway]

Plus 1 on the glazed. The regular is great, but the glazed makes cleanup much easier.
