I'm guessing your talking about for a baby tortoise? Here's a couple examples of my baby habitats:

Baby box turtles:


Baby desert tortoises:


Baby leopard tortoises:



And a couple other examples:

I don't have babies .. I've had mine for over a year .. but I don't know how old they were when I got them..
I need to know exactly what the lights everyone is using look like so I know for sure all my lights aren't CFL

We'd be happy to help you, but start your own thread so we don't hi-jack Popcorn's thread.

This is my setup at the moment @Popcorns17 - This is for my Russian tort. - I even took a picture of the 'Torts' eyeview! haha!
Unfortunately my tort was not in the enclosure at the time as he was having his soak.

I built up the substrate to make a 'hill' over his hide. He loves it at the moment.

This is too small, too dry and improper water dish for an adult Russian. This size is good for a hatchling. The problem so far that I see is your tort has pyramiding, which is not as common in Russians as it is in other torts. 4x6 minimum is needed, with a larger water dish like a clay saucer and sunk level with substrate. If the OP is looking for a hatchling enclosure this size will work but not the substrate or water dish.

A good tortoise table would be the zoomed tortoise house on amazon it is about $100 its pretty big but im sure u can make a tortoise table by fliping over a book shelf good luck

That zoomed tortoise house is only good for a hatchling size tort and it's not even great for that, due to the fact it's not set up for holding heat and humidity.

@cmac3 i thought he was talking about a hatchling my bad

Im not sure what size the OP was asking about but that tortoise house needs to be closed up for a hatchling. I got one with my first tortoise hatchling and then spend a lot of time making it work. Zoomed needs to redesign it with all the new info how to raise hatchlings
