Tortoise Table

[R114]

Hello, I've been having trouble finding a decent size tortoise table online. I am not very handy and buying one online would save me a lot of trouble. I am looking for something around 5'x3' and around 1 foot deep. If anybody knows a good place for me to find one I would really appreciate the help!

I've got a couple ideas for ya!

You can use a 55 gallon Rubbermaid tote from Home Depot or any other Home Improvement Store/Walmart. It's more like 4'X2' so depending on the size of your tort, that may be too small. But The rubber makes it really easy to maintain heat and humidity, especially if you keep the lid on, and it's completely waterproof! Fairly inexpensive depending on your budget. http://www.homedepot.com/Rubbermaid...splay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051

You can craigslist a bookshelf with the right dimensions, lay it on it's back, take out the shelving and use that. You'd have to put in a liner or waterproofer of some kind but that wouldn't be too difficult. That's also fairly cheep.

Or you can go the more expensive route and purchase a premade enclosure, but they usually still need some work and are really expensive.

Anyways, those are my ideas for you. Craigslist is awesome and there's bound to be something good on there for a low price!

Salvation Army's or any thrift store have book shelves. I bought one for $25.
