Answer 1

Hi, i dont think you'll find a tortoise and table for your budget. We brought a pair of hermanns for £200 and the tortoise table for £75. You can make your own tortoise table but you will still have to spend out on the wood, feeding and water bowl, heat bulb and fittings and uv bulb and fittings and the bedding and surface material. Ebay sell tortoise tables but they are quite small but it gives you an idea of how to make one. And to find a tortoise, well, I brought mine from wilton garden center, he's on the internet and he delivers for £19.50. He is actually a breeder.

Good luck!!

I hate to say it but I think your budget is your main problem here, as far as I'm aware £150 may just about buy the tortoise on its own, There is a pet shop I know of that sells baby tortoises ranging from around £100 to about £300 depending on the breed/size.

I dont actually have any idea what a tortoise table is, I have had a tortoise for around 25 years and he has always lived outside in the garden during the summer and has hibernated indoors during the winter, he has always been fine and has grown quite a bit.

HTH


EDIT: I should add that I got my tortoise when he was fairly old and full developed, it is true that a baby tortoise will need extra care and keeping in a heated tank, a fishtank will be fine for this and you can get heated stones that go in there to keep him warm.

try local pet shops in your nearest town. Somewhere like haskins would also be a good bet!
