new tort table

My bf built this for our torts. 6 foot by 6 foot and its not completed yet. need more coconut coir and hides and plants and rocks, but looking good so far and they love it

Missed a pic

That's a nice-sized tort table. I have a couple of suggestions - pat down the substrate with the palm of your hand to make it easier for the babies to walk on, and cover or partially cover it to keep the warm, moist air inside.

Very nice!! I can't wait to get my enclosure set...it's taking waaaayyyy too long! I can't wait around for the husband no more I'm ready to build something, but it would probably fall apart

I have to second Yvonne's post about covering it. Your babies are already quite pyramded. If you get the humidity up to 80% and the temps no lower then 80 day and night with a proper baskng spot, you can help them to grow new growth in smooth. Open top tables just aren't good for young leopards. If you haven't yet, take a read of Toms threads below in this post for proper care and housing. The Sulcata threads will also apply to your leopards.

Btw, how old are they? If it's too late for a closed chamber, then I would make them a very humid hide for them to sleep in.

Don't cut yourself short . You can build something it's not that hard .

Well iv had them 7 months and they where badly pyramiding when i got them. All the new growth is smooth as a babys bottom and this picture was before I put plastic over the top so you all could see better. Humidity is 80% temps are 105 under the light a little high still adjusting 97 under the other light and 85 in the middle.

This wouldn't have made a good pic lol

They are 1 1/2 maybe a little older there 4 and half inch long 3 inch wide

No problem, I posted a picture just like that

Really what it it is it made out of? I would bury the flowerpot hide down into the soil and fill it partway up with dirt. And of course I always suggest more plants and some terrain, like hills etc. and site barriers will make them feel like it's a bigger place. it is a good size, I wish I had room for a table that big.
