I have my little Cherry head (8 mo old) in a 75 gal vivarium. I mixed peat moss, zoo med forest floor, and soil. I added some moss, leaf litter, and planted some very small Rose of Shannon, geranium, chicks and hens, and some Spring mix seeds. I have a 100 wt. heat emitter on one side, and a long tube 10.0 UVB light on the other side. I water the plants every other day, which keeps in the humidity. On the hot side I put a half log for a hide and put long fibered moss in it. I tried to mimic a tropical forest, and an interesting environment for him. This will do inside for a few years in the winter, until I can build a table for him. Now I need some ideas for outside in the Spring. Does anyone have pictures that they can post so I can get an idea for a Summer Tortoise table. I don't have too much space, so it would have to be a some kind of table that I could build and plant in. Thanks
