We've just upgraded from a 4x4 to a 4x8 foot table for our little tort :)(About as big as we can possibly fit in our apartment!) She's about 13cm in length, 320g, so far from fully grown. But we are hoping this will be adequate for her for years to come.

Why do the dome lights look green?
What are you using for UVB?

Not to worry, that's just the filter on my phone. They don't look like that in reality :)

Her basking lamps are a 100 watt a 165 watt UVB Mercury Vapor Lamp (UV & Heat).

Very Zen-like. I’m jealous sometimes when folks can have (and maintain) such tidy well manicured enclosures with small torts, Our Sully is just happy slopping around in mud and dirt and gobbling down entire 4 ft banana leaves, etc.

Nice job!

Thanks so much! Yes I can imagine it's quite a bit different with a tortoise that size!

That being said, this is brand new before we got her in there. One day down and she's completely trampled the plants, and done a good job covering every available surface with her substrate trail :p

Sounds, and looks, good.
I agree...very Zen-like.
