Hey y'all. Im building a tortoise table. How large should it be for 2 adult leopard tortoises. They will be inside during the colder months, but outside for spring, summer, and fall.
They are hatchlings right now but I dont want to waster money on making a small one when I could just make a larger one now. I have a whole room for them so it doesnt matter the size.
I'm sorry. But I disagree. This is a Desert species. Ive raising many hatchlings in a smaller table without humidity. They are fine. If you stuck them in 80-100% humidity, they will most likely get sick. So, no, i will not be following you advise. Thanks.A leopard tortoise needs 80-100% humidity, which can’t be achieved in an open topped table.
Also, if they’re being kept together, they need to be separated. Tortoises should never be kept in pairs.

Just curious, do you still have the torts you raised in tables? Can we see pics? Are they smooth or pyramided? I seen your adoption post and I'm pretty sure I remember you said you only babysat torts for friends? I could be wrong though.I'm sorry. But I disagree. This is a Desert species.

There's just no way two adult leopard tortoises can live in a tort table. They need a whole bedroom, and if you can't do that, then a very large enclosure on the floor of a bedroom, bigger than a double bed. Most of us with adult leopards keep them in heated sheds outside.Hey y'all. Im building a tortoise table. How large should it be for 2 adult leopard tortoises.

I suspect that she didn't get the feedback she wanted to hear and she's moved on to a place where she will get the answers she wants.There's just no way two adult leopard tortoises can live in a tort table.

Wow. I can't believe there can still be someone this stubborn and close-minded nowadays. Just... WowI suspect that she didn't get the feedback she wanted to hear and she's moved on to a place where she will get the answers she wants.
