Re: need help please
Your original question was about tap water wasn't it? I forgot about that yesterday. My torts bath and drink normal tap water and always have.
Tort tables can be bought on places like ebay, but they tend to be rather small and expensive for what they are. They are very easy to make, you could buy a bookcase ans take the shelves out, then just fix a piece of wood across the top for your basking light and UV. Or you can buy the wood and make it all yourself, all you need is a base, I wouldn't go any smaller than 4ft x 2ft for a small tort (bigger if the tort is older than say 3 years), but remember in the wild a tort would roam for miles so the bigger the better. Once you have a base you just need to fix four sides to it, about 8 inches deep so he can't climb out! And then rig something up for the basking and UV lights.
You can email me if you like and I will send you some pictures of my first tort tables. My email is hard.top.kids@ntlworld.com
