Does anyone have a two story tortoise enclosure? I'm trying to find info and pics on them to see if they really work. I have two leopard torts (2 inch and 4 1/2 inches). Currently they're in a 75 gallon tank, but I wanted to give them something more. Has anyone tried it?

There are a few pics in the enclosure sections here of two story enclosrues Tegan posted one http://tortoiseforum.org/tort-turt-tables-t-39-2.html and dinkanber posted another http://tortoiseforum.org/help-new-owners-are-worried-t-651.html can't remember who else.

Thank you so much. Now i just have to figure out where to put the thing lol. They just seem so "blah" in their home. I know a table is better for them than a tank anyway, but they seem very active and curious-that's why I want to plan a two story.

While researching tort tables, I came upon this two story table. :)

One way to think about this is a really big hiding place they can walk on top of!

Ok evin, here is the link. http://tortoiseforum.org/new-indoor-enclosure-t-1392.html
Macheteslaststep this may give you some ideas too.

I just love that enclosure :) It works great, I have sully yearlings, boxie 2 yr olds, and DT yearlings in them. It works great and looks just like furniture. The only bummer I have is I wish I would have made a 4 story instead of 3 story. I am out of room and if my egg hatches, I will need another story. Oh well guess hubby will have to build another one, to many babies.

Also you can look in the April, 2008 reptiles magazine and they have a article with pictures and directions, for some really neat tables, thats where I saw Ed's and got my hubby to build me one.

Just make sure if you build your tort's a two story enclosure you put rails on the ramps, so they don't fall off.

I'm drawing up the plans for my two story, I'm going to make both sections 4x4. Not sure on the height yet. I just need to figure out the angle of the ramp. I saw a finished product of one somewhere with the railing done and everything, but I can't find it anywhere now :( Oh well, I'll let you know when I start :p
