I'm looking at building a tortoise table for a Greek Tortoise but wondering how high the front section should be.
I have a few sheets of plywood that are pre cut 30" x 30" so I was going to put 3 together to get 30" x 90". That comes out to about 18.75 square feet so not too bad of an area.
If I have enough plywood I will put it on the back and sides but I want to keep the front lower. But how tall do I need to keep the front edge so the tortoise doesn't climb out? I'm think 8"-10" should be high enough but wanted to confirm that.
I know with 2-3" of substrate plus the shell about 4-5" tall I don't think he would be able to see over a 8"-10" section and from what I have read these guys don't climb a lot.
