Table top Tortoises vivarium ..
This idea come to me when I saw An Advertiesement in reptiles magazine called ( Practical reptiles keeping ) from the UK ..
Tn this advertisment the vivarium called ( THE VIVIDARIUM TORTOISE HOME ) they used a hanged lighting with open roof .. I liked the idea and I have some tortoises ( Indian Tortoises ) .. so I decided to made one similar ..
Lighting : The lighting bulbs will be hinged types by PVC half inch pipes with fittings .. All wires will be run through the pipes it self ..
then I colored the pipes by Cement Brown color only ..
Two lighting hoods will be used one for the UV light and one for the Heat / Baskin Light ..
In this vivarium We will build similar tropical to the previous vivariums ..
