Ok folks, I have posted this in the for sale forum even though its FREE!!!

I am giving away, shipping, whatever you need a tortoise table. Its 3.75 ft wide and long. It has a round pen on it. The walls are about 6 inches tall, and you can add fiber board to make them taller as the tort grows.

Its well built and lasted livingstone for 2 years from a hatchling.

You will need substrate and a lamp stand or 2. Here's a pic.

Anyways, the deal is this, I dont have room for it. I built her new one and this one is obsolete. I will even split the shipping cost just so this can go to someone who needs it. Seriously its a great enclosure, it has no corners!!!! I really want this to go someone who nedds it. If you have a hatchling and its in a tank please PM me.

That is very nice of you to do. My sulcata is in a tank but its a 100 gallon and I actually like it right now to hold humidity better. Hope someone gets it that really needs it. :)

Where are you located? Shipping something that big would not be cheap at all...but I may be interested in getting this for Abel. He's a roughly 5 mO sulcata living in a 28 qt shallow sterlite tupperware, and on my desk I study at for a good part of the day with me. I'm located in 92037. :)

Livingston, Im not interested but you never said where you live for those who are. I have admired this enclosure before. It looks really nice.

OMG would you really pay $200 or are you joking? How much did it cost to make?

I don't question your kindness one bit, but I will need to pass on the offer too in this case. I'm on a student budget still. Sorry. Maybe instead, you could post up instructions on how to make enclosures like this? Maybe a bill of materials...

Hope someone local can jump on this built one. Thanks again!

Yes I would. Much rather that than it endingup in landfill, however I guess thats probably whats going to happen.

My zip code is 20194, I didnt post it because I wasnt expecting anybody to try and work out the shippng cost from their end, rather PM me and I would let them know. however since I've only had one PM, that doesn't seem to be working.

You could try posting it on Craigslist, maybe there is someone local to you that could use the table, AND some knowledge on how to properly care for their tort! I bet there is some cute little hatchling in a ten gallon aquarium somewhere that would love it... ;)

Well like I said thats a very nice thing you are doing. Not many people would do that. Craigslist is a good idea that kyryah suggested. Best of luck! :)
