Best Tortoise Tables And Enclosures For 2022

We’ve chosen Vivexotic’s Deluxe Tortoise table as the best overall because it’s gone above and beyond what’s required. Not only does it have a large amount of space required, but they’ve also thought about the emotional well-being of the tortoise by providing glass decorated walls that prevent the tortoise from looking out. This gives the tortoise privacy and stops them from seeing all the hustle and bustle of daily life that might cause them to feel stressed.

It comes with an adhesive bracket for hanging a spot lamp on and a smart mesh top that ensures proper ventilation while giving the tortoise the protection it needs. And as the cherry on top, the table is made from recycled sources or FSC sustainable forests, so you can feel good knowing you’re choosing an environmentally friendly option for your little tortoise’s environment.

At 48 inches long, this enclosure is by far one of the biggest homes on the list! It supersedes the required amount of length by 10 inches, all while including the essential hideaway and a stand for the UVB lamp.

The walls are high to prevent your tortoise from escaping, and since the enclosure is made from heavy-duty 12mm Hardwood Ply, your little tort can’t see outside sheltering them from any anxiety. And just so you can check on them, the roof of the hideaway is removable for easy viewing and access.

Within this house, your tortoise has space to roam, bathe in a pool, bask in a sun lamp and hibernate in the dark, giving them all the essentials they need for a happy life.

The hutch company is long-established for making quality pet products, and it’s no different with this tortoise table. At 39 inches long, it’s the recommended size for an average tortoise and benefits from a secure hide with a removable roof as well as a breathable mesh top and a lamp arm to attach the UVB light to.

Generally, the reviews are very good for this table; the only thing to consider is the length between the lamp and the tortoise as it didn’t provide enough safe distance for one buyer’s tortoise in relation to the lamp. Nobody wants their tortoise to be at risk of burning, but this was only one customer, however, so it all has to be taken into consideration.

Perhaps not the most conventional choice, but if you’re into all things cute and quirky, then this enclosure is ideal for little hatchlings. This enclosure by Vividarium won the “Best New Pet Product” award at the PATS 2016 trade show, and it’s easy to see why; they’ve put a lot of thought into providing a design that’s both safe and innovative. 

For example, the open-top design has been created to ensure maximum airflow while the curved edges of the enclosure prevent tortoises from climbing up and falling onto their backs. Unlike wood (which is often used for tortoise enclosures), this home is manufactured from lightweight resin, which means it’s waterproof and won’t rot.

The cables from basking lamps etc. are tucked away neatly into the cable clamps that are secured on the rear of the tortoise home’s shell while there’s a clever inbuilt hideaway within the tortoise’s head that’s around 15cm, allowing for a small tortoise to relax, hibernate and have shelter away from the UVB lamp.

Our only quip with this enclosure is that there’s simply not enough space. The inbuilt hideaway won’t fit a fully grown tortoise in, and while the length is technically adequate, the design is a little cramped. This home will be ideal for the first few years of their life, but naturally, you’ll have to continue to measure your tortoise to check that they’re not at risk of becoming stuck in the hideaway because they’ve grown too big.

It’s not often that you get a tortoise enclosure as stylish as this one, and while it’s not a conventional table, it’s certainly worth a mention due to its sleek grey design, appropriate length and the fact that it can be used outside and indoors.

The hinged wire roof can be left open for complete transparency, or you can leave it down in the knowledge that the mesh design is providing good airflow. The two-room design also provides your tortoise with privacy and space away from the sun/UVB light.

Since the bottom slides out like a tray, you can easily clean it, and there are handles on the side of the box for easy transportation when you want to put it outside in the summer.

Complete with a stand, a hibernation shelter and decorated glass, this Vivexotic table has everything your little pal needs to settle in and enjoy their abode. The roofed enclosure is perfect for them to snuggle up in while also providing some rest bite from the hot spot of the UVB lamp. It has a hinged roof, so you can easily replace old bedding or just see how your little tortoise is getting on.

The decorated glass offers your tortoise privacy and prevents them from becoming anxious by the day to business of your home. The elevated stand gives an extra layer of protection and since the set comes in either walnut or oak, you can decide which will fit your decor best.
