Hey Everyone,
I have always wanted to get a tortoise however the time was never right but finally I am in a situation where it is feasible for me to own a tortoise. With this in mind I have been doing research for awhile now but I am still debating over a few things.
I live in the UK so an outdoor enclosure isn't the best option for me due to the cold weather so I will be using an indoor enclosure. This has brought me to the question of using a Vivarium or a tortoise table. I might be wrong as I am new to this but to me it seems like a vivarium would be easier to create a well heated and lighted environment since no heat could escape, I wondered if this could create problems with overheating or if this is a fair option?
And then if I were to use a tortoise table I was interested to hear if people have found it better to build your own table or to buy one?
And finally, I am looking at getting a Russian tortoise, preferably a baby and wondered how much space they would need in their vivarium or tortoise table?
Thanks in advance,
Will
