Final suggestion... Henrys design is the most common with most Pancake tortoise keepers. This setup is relatively inexpensive and something that is really close to what they really seem to like and doesn't look bad. They really do like to climb even if they don't have to.

thanks for your feedback! i was planning to use astroturf on the ramps, to make it nice and grippy.. and also they wont be nearly as steep as they look in that design, we soon adapted our plans! im thinking now to start in a smaller tub, while the big one is being built, then by the time its all finished and perfect, the torts will be a bit bigger and i can introduce them to the proper table one level at a time. It really helps having pancake keepers views, so thank you again! Louise
