Hello everyone,
I am designing a new tortoise table and would like to ask you about the smallest possible table for 1 adult herman´s. I think it should be something like 120 cm x 50 cm (3,9 x 1,6 feet)... Any advice please?

1 Adult Herman should actually be outdoors whenever possible in an enclosure that is safe from predators, including birds. About 6'x4' (183 cm X 122cm) should be enough, but the bigger the better. Hermanns are active and will dig and climb, especially if their pen is too small. To prevent escapes, make sure the enclosures walls are placed several inches below ground surface (for outside pens) and either makes the walls high or place a lip along the top of the wall to discourage climbing.

So a table 120cm x 50cm would be way too small.
