Hey everyone



This weekend im picking up my young sulcata (4"and have made a custom tortoise table for him to live in for the first while till we move him into his own room/yard once he's big enough.



From what I've read, a good mixture of Topsoil/compost and Play sand is ideal for them...



could anyone tell me the ratio of soil to sand that would be ideal for a table top enclosure for my young one?





Thanks,



-FCM
