I am looking for a tortoise table but after searching the web it seems I can only buy them from England. Does anyone know where I can find one in the USA and if not is there any UK companies that might ship to me?

I'd suggest building one your self, it is a lot cheaper , plus that way you can customize it to your liking.....I have 4 tortoises...2-leopards and 2-colubian red foots , and I made there tortoise tables, and they worked out great .....took some time but it was well worth it..........One thing to keep in mind is how big they will be in 5-10 yrs, you'll need to compansate 4 that now, I almost forgot to myself....Good luck

Make your own- it is cheap and easy!
1. Buy a decent bookcase that is the overall size you want, and as deep as possible. "Assemble it yourself" furniture counts!
2. Take out the bookshelves, flip it on its back, and Ta Dah! instant Tortoise Table! All you need to do know is to put it up on legs and fill it.
3. You can use sawhorses as legs, or put it on an old dining room table, or whatever. Most bookcases need a little reinforcement for the back, so a lot of people put some plywood over two sawhorses, then the table on that.
Don't want to do all that? Any friend handy with carpentry can make one in a couple hours.

I built my own tortoise table. It took about two days and it was over and done with. I suggest you see how much it would be to buy the materials and make it, but if you insist on buying one already made, I dont know what to tell you.
My tortoise table was origianally made for two female russians, about 3" long. The demensions are 4'x2'x11" high. Its an open air environment. On one side there is dirt and grass, on the other there is timothy hay(they munch on it and they love to burrow under it). There is a dip for the dish that they drink from, which is about 1/2" deep. It needs to be cleaned daily. I also made a box for them to sleep in and filled it with dirt so they could burrow into it. They love it.
However, my girls are about 4 and 5" and my newly added male is about 5 1/2", so I need to upgrade soon... They also have a 20x16 area outside that they stay in during the day.
Good luck with your table!

Make one. I cant do DIY, but even I managed a tortoise table. its about the easiest DIY project you could possibly have. Other than that, try Freecycle, or local papers. You might get someone giving one away cheap.
