Thanks,

the cage is 28 1/4" x 18" x 12 1/3" (71.7cm x 46cm x 31.5cm)

and it will be a young tort

FOr a hatchling then yes. But any older than a year i would say no.

I would say no with the sides going as high as they do but OK if much larger.

it looks to small to me you wont get a very good gradient of temps and the spot lamp could melt that plastic your better off going for a large open table (see shelledwariors on ebay) or look at the link in my sig and see what i used

ok, just looking online for a better one will post pictures and dimensions up asap!

Once ive got that all i need really heat and lighting wise is a heat lamp and uv tube/starter?
