Hey Guys,,,

We all know tortoises come from Semi Arid/ Savannas, Steppe, and Mediterranean sea climate These three are usually known as grasslands and also dry forests.
here in Captivity, tortoises require hot/warm enclosures with dry substrates and arid enclosures due to their natural ecology, Most experienced and experts recommend a Wooden viv/table (whateva you call it) to remain the heat, unlike glass and plastic, Some people use big plastic 'bins' for tortoises, Tortoises can live in plastic tubs/bins as it is not wrong nor dangerous for them but its not the best choice, If you cant use Wooden for some reason, Try thick hard cardboard, you can easly make a viv/table/tub looking enclosure, and well alot of peeps would say it is crazy as too flimsy, But it works if you use a new Hard cardboard, attach them with Brown cardboard tape or super tape, or maybe wood glue, brown cardboard tape is the best i guess, add substrate (NO SOIL NOR SAND) you can use aspen substrate, wood shavings or beech woodchips, or fake grass.

This does become successful as cardboard does a really good job in remaining heat and dust also keeps it arid.
Please Note: this is not the best thing, im telling atleast it works, and does a better job in tortoises ecology and climate factors than plastic tubs/bins.
Tortoise's cardboard enclosures require NO heat mats as may cause burning , Only heatlights and UVB on a the rocky side or on a rock you must be adding in there (basking rock).

Thanks, Blesses!
