Vivexotic DLX Tortoise Table Large Oak 1192x632x82mm PT4142

The VE DLX Tortoise Table Large Oak is a dedicated open-top enclosure designed for Mediterranean tortoise species, giving keepers a practical, clean-lined housing solution that prioritises animal welfare and ease of use. At 1192 x 632 x 82mm, it provides a generous floor area suited to active species that need room to roam, thermoregulate, and behave naturally.

Construction and Finish

Built in a modern oak finish, the table is constructed from timber sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forests or recycled materials — the FSC credential matters if you care about responsible sourcing. The design keeps part count low, so assembly is straightforward and achievable in a short sitting without specialist tools or experience.

Viewing and Ventilation

The decorated glass panels offer 270-degree visibility into the enclosure while serving a practical purpose: tortoises cannot see through to the outside world, which reduces the stress and repetitive glass-pacing behaviour common in clear-sided enclosures. Open-top construction ensures airflow remains unobstructed — essential for preventing the humid, stagnant conditions that Mediterranean species are poorly adapted to tolerate.

Keeper-Ready Features

• Adhesive lamp bracket included for mounting a basking or UV lamp directly above the enclosure
• Smooth internal surfaces for straightforward substrate removal and cleaning
• Compatible with a matching cabinet accessory that elevates the unit to a practical working height and adds under-enclosure storage
• Can be placed on any stable flat surface without the cabinet if preferred

Recommended Species

This table is well suited to the most commonly kept Mediterranean tortoise species in the UK:

• Horsfield's Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii)
• Hermann's Tortoise (Testudo hermanni)
• Greek / Spur-thighed Tortoise (Testudo graeca)
• Marginated Tortoise (Testudo marginata)

For keepers who want a complete, free-standing setup, pairing this table with the matching cabinet brings everything together into a single unit at a comfortable viewing and maintenance height — a sensible long-term setup for any tortoise keeper serious about getting the housing right.
