Thanks so much, Alex! Can’t wait to get him in there ❤️🐢

Like nothing? Chicken wire doesn’t hold much in, so I would consider it open top. Although I can’t imagine a completely closed tortoise anything…

I has some plexi windows. They’re actually a TV screen from something my husband took apart. I’m somewhat concerned about the dots making it more reflective, but he says no… The top will have a wooden frame with chicken wire I think. Not sure if this is what you’d consider open top?

I’m trying to seal off I’m happy to sue something I can paint over. I have a poplar wood toy box that I need to seal. Some parts have an old stain and some parts are bare. I’m open to suggestions and would either paint or stain. Ideally I don’t want to wait a month for things to cure. From what...

I assume using GE 1 tub and tile is the way to go? There is window and door as well. They don’t have the all purpose one at the store. Any advice?

Goo to know! I’m probably overthinking everything, but I’m always nervous about these things. Thanks for the advice! I love the round windows in your table!

There is a small gap between the dog crate bottom and the wood, but it’s almost perfect. I’d seal the bottom and also need to do some caulking in a few spots. Just not sure if the plastic piece will actually make things worse 🤷‍♀️ I was thinking about this because I’ve read through posts and...

This is the stain and seal

I’ve started caring for a Russian tortoise who lives at my work in a tank. Please know I’m aware a 2 x 3 table isn’t enough room, but this is the space available for now. Bigger things in the future. This will double his current space he’s been living in for years so I’m happy to improve things...

Thanks, Tammy! I definitely will!

Thanks Alex. I hope I didn’t come off defensive with people. Everyone here is trying to help and wonderful! Boris is doing much better today! Urates were not pink! He’s eating like usual :) I gave him a soak last night and this afternoon. I hope he doesn’t have any giant issues that pop up...

I have flukers incandescent bulbs and a new Arcadia UV set up. I went through a whole light fiasco and I’m absolutely positive I have the right things now. The tank and his care have not been good. I started a job and took over care of the “office pet”. He’s been in a “situation” for his whole...

I know. I’ve taken over his care and he has been kept like this for many years unfortunately. Building a new enclosure for him at the moment and have all the appropriate lighting per Tom. He went from being still as a rock to happy and mobile since I started looking out for him. Moving...

Thank you. I didn’t get back to anyone because there was a new development and it was a busy day. At the end of the day he was better, but had past pink urates and a somewhat hard white clump. Soaked him a bunch and eventually he was back eating his lettuce like a champ. I’m working on a CHE set...

Thank you. Sorry I didn’t get back to anyone yesterday. He passed some pink urites yesterday and he didn’t have any of the foods that would cause this. There was a white clump too that was sorta hard. I soaked him a bunch and eventually he went back to moving faster and chomping on food like he...

Normally Boris has been eating with gusto. This morning he’s slow and has his head in the food bowl eating slowly and didn’t finish. I don’t know what’s wrong and I’m new to this. I have turned him from a rock into a happy guy over the past few months. Seeing him slow is scary. Is it possible I...

Thank you!!

Thanks, Alex. I’m going to play it safe for sure. Thanks for the input! He has so much glass above him right now I just do t know what to expect. I can’t wait to get him in his new set up! I’ll share pics soon :)

Thanks, Tom. How clever are they exactly? Should I feel safe with a heavy-ish top or do I need to latch it closed in several places?
