Example - Indoor Tortoise Pen

tortoise table

This beautiful tortoise table (6 ft x 3 ft) was built by Jared for his two Redfoot youngsters, but it would work well for Star tortoises or other small tortoises. Just choose the substrate, lighting, and heating devices to match the species' requirements.

Always attach any heating and lighting devices securely so that they cannot fall down and injury the tortoise or start a fire. See the lighting & heating page for more info.
