I have updated the design and it seems to be almost final. It's a semi closed enclosure. Not sure what to call it since it's neither a table or a vivarium or a terrarium. Top is removable for maintenance. Will have 2 exhaust fans (1 on the left and 1 on the right).
The front top part above the...
I agree it's impossible to maintain 65% humidity in an indoor open topped table. And another thing causing issue is the air conditioning. So I turn on more heat lamps when the air conditioning is on. At least I'm still working from home now so I can manage the temperatures more hands on.

Thanks for the reply!
For the outdoor enclosure, I can put them on the floors which is quite warm in the afternoon. Average temperature is 32 degrees with 60-80% humidity. Or will I need a table with substrate, etc?
As for the indoor, they do have areas up to 32 degrees at night but only...
Hi everyone,
I am designing a new tortoise table for my star tortoises and I am in need of some advices. I am trying to maximize the indoor space that I have so my maximum size would be 220cm x 60cm (86" x 23"). Thanks in advance for any inputs!
Note: I live in a tropical climate with the...
Some updates. He's finally eating 4 days ago but not too much. Maybe just a few bites. Then he didn't eat for 2 days.
Then yesterday afternoon he ate quite a bit but picky on the veggies. And yesterday afternoon was the first time he became more active.
After he ate he slept until today and...
In the old enclosure I use 2 hanging lamps. I use aircon during the day to help lower the temperature since it's around 26-28 without aircon.
I have been using a few care sheets such as these for the temperature guideline...
How can I tell if he's drinking? I do give him a bath in warm water almost daily since he's not eating but I can't tell if he's drinking.
I haven't seen any worm on his poop. If there's worm what should I look for in his poop?
His nose is dry. I noticed on his chin, his old skin is peeling. Is...
Between 22-28 degrees daily indoor.
Tropical weather outside around 30-34 degrees daytime and 26-30 degrees nighttime.
Here are the vegetables I get for him:
My bigger kleinmanni has not been eating for about 1 week. Before then he was eating quite a lot but now he is losing weight which concerns me:
16th March - 99g
24th March - 108g
5th April - 98g
12th April - 102g
3rd May - 93g
I have been feeding him RepCal, various fresh vegetables available...
I have an 5cm (1st photo) and 8cm (2nd photo) Kleinmanni. I think the bigger one (2nd photo) is male, smaller (1st photo) is female. Any guesses? Thanks!
I recently got a 5cm Kleinmanni from a reputable store on Friday 20th. As of today Thursday 26th early AM, I noticed that the tortoise has not been eating. Barely eating maybe? From yesterday the 25th, she has been pooping something unusual and fishy smelling. It's yellowish in color (photo...
