New guy!

Hey guys, what's up? I adopted a Russian tortoise yesterday from work so spent all day today building a home. It came to me in a Tupperware container and that's no way to live, since I live in Florida I thought why not let him live outside. I do have space for a larger enclosure I can build on the ground but I liked the idea of having a table that I could move inside in case storms get bad or we have heavy rain. I'm sure I will end up building the larger one too, lol. The table is 4'1/2ft x 3ft with a hide on the left. Ah pics are on my phone. I'll try to put them on here from my phone tomorrow.

Hello and welcome...

Hello and Welcome a nice size enclosure outside sounds just like what he/she needs. As for bringing him/her inside for storms, etc, that could be a smaller table set up, seeing it probably wouldn't need to be housed inside for long.

Any ideas what I should use for substrate?

Hi Jroops, and welcome to the Forum!!

I like cypress mulch or orchid bark, but if you look through out substrate section you can see what other members like and why:
