Hi Ralph:

Will your new tortoise be living indoors or outside?

Here's a picture of BenAwes' tort table. He's two years old and his tort table is set up in the leopard tortoise shed outside:





And here's a tub I have in the house with a hatchling in it:



And when they 'graduate' to living outside, here's the leopard yard:

Here is my leopard enclosure...aka the backyard!
He's almost 3 years old (10" & 5lbs) and has lived outside full time since he was 2.

my indoor enclosures are around TFO in other threads...But I no longer have their photos on my phone which is where I'm posting from

The backyard is secure with fencing, untreated grass grows for food, bushes and trees for shade, he has a large terra cotta saucer for water, a flat feeding stone for offered meals (Mazuri, store greens, harvested weeds etc) and of course his heated house!

Nothing beats looking out your kitchen window and seeing a beautiful rock walking around!

Read up on "closed chambers". That will give you some good applicable information.

Here's mine.

My babies are in a table with a frame and covered with plastic.
My large Leopard is in the enclosure on the floor.
And last but not least my 9 inch leopard is in a 2 story double table partially covered.

I don't have any good "completed" photos, but here is some during construction and from the inside. It's 2x3x8 and has two side entrances. The inside is equipped with 3 CHEs on a thermostat controller and two mercury bulbs plus one tube UVB bulb on day/night timer.
I use terra cotter saucers for both water and food trays and sphagnum peat moss topped with cypress mulch for substrate .
