Vivexotic Deluxe Tortoise Table - 115x61x27.5cm

The Vivexotic Deluxe Tortoise Table in Large Oak is a purpose-built open-top enclosure designed for Mediterranean tortoise species kept in UK homes. At 119.2 x 63.2 x 8.2cm, it provides a generous floor space in a clean oak finish, built for keepers who want a practical, well-ventilated home that puts the animal's welfare first.

Enclosure Design

The decorated glass side panels offer 270 degrees of viewing without exposing the tortoise to the visual stress of seeing through to the outside world — an important consideration for tortoises, which can become unsettled by constant visual stimulation. The open-top format ensures natural airflow throughout the enclosure, which is essential for the arid species this table is designed to house.

Build and Materials

The enclosure is constructed using timber sourced from recycled materials or FSC-certified sustainable forests. FSC certification means the wood is verified against globally recognised standards for responsible forest management, maintaining biodiversity and ecological integrity. The oak finish is a modern, neutral aesthetic that sits comfortably in most home environments.

Setup and Lighting

An adhesive lamp bracket is included, allowing you to position a basking or UV lamp directly over the enclosure without additional hardware. Assembly has been kept straightforward, with minimal parts — most keepers should have the table built and ready in 10 to 30 minutes.

Suitable Species

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

• Horsfield's Tortoise
• Hermann's Tortoise
• Greek (Spur-Thighed) Tortoise
• Marginated Tortoise

Expanding the Setup

The table sits on any flat, stable surface as a standalone unit. A matching cabinet is available separately, raising the total height to 92cm and providing under-enclosure storage — a practical option for keepers who prefer their tortoise at a more comfortable working height.

A well-ventilated, appropriately sized enclosure is one of the most important foundations of good tortoise husbandry. This table delivers that in a format that is easy to maintain, straightforward to set up, and built to last.
