I appreciate your help. I was kind of thinking the aquariums not being the best option might be the case. I am pretty good with building things on my own, so making one of these tables shouldn't be too difficult. My only problem is, I don't have a whole lot of room to work with. My room is MAYBE about 10'x12'.

Also, I have noticed a lot of talk on these forums about tortoises hibernating and "slowing down." Since I got mine, he has pooped only once (to my knowledge) and seems very sluggish...or at least more so than any care guide I read says he is supposed to be. He seems to be pretty healthy. I was mostly just wondering if i should slow down his feeding or adjust how often i turn his lamp on/off.

Also, upon looking through some pictures, it would appear that he is most likely a golden greek. If my camera was of better quality, I would take pictures. So with that said, how would i go about heating the bottom of his new habitat?

I apologize for all the naive questions. I have owned other reptiles and I swear I'm not as dumb as this stuff makes me sound. I simply want what is the best for the tortoise and every care guide seems to tell me something differen, so I figured I would ask the people who know from experience.

Thanks again.
