Russian Tortoise Enclosure Q's

[YERTLE_THE_TORTOISE]

Hello, I am currently building a tortoise table for my Russian but have come to the problem with sealing the wood. Also because I live in Denver and there is 4 inches of snow on the ground I can not take Sammie outside what should I light the table with to provide the proper stuff.

With the sealing of the wood I do want to avoid liners if possible.

I have read posts by Tom who is a long time member about using Dry-lock. I have no experience with this myself but if you searched the forum for Dry-lock you can read several posts by Tom and perhaps others.
Good luck and post pics of the new setup when you can

Tom told me that dry lock did not work. It only lasted a year or so. I used pond armor for my indoor enclosure and it worked really well so far. And it comes in different colors. It’s not cheap but it works. Here’s a picture of part of the enclosure so you could get the idea. I like the sky blue color myself

Your tortoise will need UVB. Check out the Russian tortoise care sheet for some ideas.

How do you feel about fiberglass resin? No mat just resin.
