will look into the extruded PVC sheets. The guy I was speaking to about building the table for me recommended using a wooden table base but line it with plastic perspex to keep it water tight, is this something that sounds plausible while also keeping the tortoise's health in mind? From my...
I was looking at getting a proper vivarium, but unfortunately I just don't have the correct space/environment to support it, once I get the correct space I will look into getting a vivarium. I was thinking of covering parts of the table with some form of plastic sheets to help keep the humidity...
A while back I got a new tortoise table built, I lined it with plastic pond liner and roof liner to try and make it water waterproof as possible. Unfortunately, as time went on water got through and now the wood on the base of the tortoise table is starting to get mould on it (starting to worry...
Around a week ago I noiticed a tiny brown mark on my redfoot's head, I didn't think of it much then but I was going to book a vet appoitnment. I've just checked today and to me it seems like it has gotten worse.
I'm extreamly worried about it now and I'm going to book an appointment at my vets...
I will look into using wire instead of zip ties. The bulb isn't touching the reflector, it comes with some hooks that can attach to the tube so they won't touch. The bulb is a reptisun 25 watts t8 5.0 and they recommend to distance this bulb 30 cms away from the floor.
Hello,
After checking my tortoise I've noticed two light blemishes on the dark part of her shell. Is this normal and does the bottom of her shell look healthy or is this something to be concerned about like shell rot? I do wet her substrate but it does dry up very quickly. I did take this photo...
I've recently purchased two Arcadia products, the Ultra Seal fluorescent lighting controller and the lamp reflector. I'm trying to implement both of these products into my tortoise table but I'm having trouble. Could I possibly use zip ties to secure the light into place (zip tie the wires to...

I've currently trying to attach my fluorescent tube to my tortoise table. From my understanding it's recommended the tube should be around 30 cms off the floor of the tortoise table. I'm having trouble in finding a way on how to do this. I was planning on attaching hooks to the piece of wood...
I'm currently in the process of constructing a new table for my red foot tortoise. I'm going to put in a uvb fluorescent tube but I'm having a problem with actual figuring how to fix the tube to the table. I don't want to use a fixed plastic tube holder as they're heavy, limit how long a tube...

Upgrading my current table to a new one, I've been told a uvb fluorescent tube is better than the normal uvb light I have. So my question is, what sort of uvb fluorescent tube should I get (5.0,10.0 and what length)? And what brand (Currently I'm using equipment from Exo Terra, are they good?)...
