Hey everyone, I recently built a new tortoise table and just wanted to share with everyone. Below and not visible is a slider pond. The top seen in the picture is approx. 4 feet by 6 feet. I used a rubber deck sealant and so far it's done great resisting the vigours of tortoise life. I realize a hide box would be nice but so far they seem to enjoy just digging in the shavings. The coolside has a min/max humidity of 40% and 76% which should do the trick. I realize these are desert species (31/2year old G.sulcata and an old rescue T.horsfeildi) and the majority of the space has a very low humidity. Temps range from 88F to 110F and dip down to 81F at night. The herp room is controlled at 83F give or take a few degrees.

So anyone with lots of experience with these species please feel free to critique my setup and suggest any improvements

I definately admit that although experienced, I am no expert.
