Tortoise enclosures

[Michellegallon]

Hi does anyone have any links to websites I can purchase a tortoise table or enclosure in the UK? I did look in eBay but woukd prefer to get some guidance from you guys. Also do you guys suggest open top tables or enclosed tanks?

As far as I am aware there are no prebuilt tortoise tables that are big enough

What's the straight carapace length of your tortoises? Here's how to measure it http://www.tlady.clara.net/measure.htm

Younger smaller tortoises need high humidity and a closed chamber. A tortoise table is not suitable.

For older, larger tortoises you should be aiming for a minimum of 4'x8' (1.5x2.2 metres) An old bookcase laid on its back with the shelves knocked out and lined with pond-liner to protect it from the damp substrate makes a great tortoise table for older animals.

Buliding one may be cheaper!
