I do apologise if this shows up more than once my computer is doing very strange things. Thank you all for your advice ☺. However I have a bit of a problem I have overlooked the depth of the table so when I put 4 inch of substrate in it makes the sides only 2.5 inches high. Will this cause me a problem so early on as I don't want any escapes

My tables are 12'' deep and I still have an overhanging lip around the edges to prevent climbers from escaping. Can you add a lip to yours? It does the trick and stops little corner climbers in particular from getting out.

Looking good, the only thing is how high is the uvb? From the photo angle it looks quite high.

I am not sure as I don't use them but I am sure someone will help.
It probably tells you on the packaging. |

I think the recommendation is 12''. Good to see the lip around the edge. Hopefully that'll prevent escapees until you get around to raising the sides.
I'm sure you can't wait to get them in there now.

Yes i cannot wait, I've wanted one since I was a little boy but never got around to it. Sadly we had to have our dog put to sleep in October and my 6yr old was very upset so she asked if she could have a tortoise and I said no we can have 2 lol so we are both happy

I'm really sorry about your dog. That must have been hard for you all. I'm sure the whole family are going to love your new torts. Can't wait to see photos of them.
