I just had a new table built for my Leopard tort. It has cedar panels for the sides. It has been in the house for a week and the smell of cedar is still very strong. I know not to use cedar for the bedding but I'm wondering if the smell is going to cause any problems.

I wouldn't use it. Maybe for an outdoor table in a well ventilated area, after the wood has weathered a few months, but not indoors.

What size leopard have you got?

Thanks, I should have checked here before I had it built. It's 8' x 8' Lined about 1/2 way up the sides w/roofing liner, which I did check on. I didn't think about the sides until I got it in the house and noticed the smell. I'll have to come up with a new plan.
