New Tortoise Table
Pumpkins move from viv to huge tortoise table.
I plan on getting a fluorescent UVB light to go across the side of the table opposite to the ramp and also i want to get an aloe vera plant plus another holder to put my ceramic heater in to put at the other end for night.

2 things stand out really quickly and thats that the inside edge rail of the ramp and the top sections inside edge aren't high enough. Your tortoise will be climbing over those edges and falling down to the bottom of the table. Your going to need to make those higher.

Even without soil on the ramp, that piece is to low. Be better just to make those pieces higher.

You could always get some more of those wooden sticks and glue them on to the wood thats on the ramp part to make sides higher. I have made a ramp by doing that. I seperated the sticks and just glued them down the side, xx
