Choosing an Open-Top Tortoise Habitat

This design is intended for tortoises and other ground-dwelling reptiles whose species, size, behavior, and environmental needs suit an open-top enclosure. Plan the habitat around your animal's adult space requirements, appropriate substrate, hides, heating, UVB, and humidity needs.

An open top allows heat and moisture to escape more readily than a closed habitat. Reptiles that climb, jump, or require enclosed conditions may need a different enclosure design. Ask us about a custom configuration before ordering if you are unsure which style fits your setup.

How to Order

  1. Measure your space and delivery route. Check the enclosure location, doorways, and access for an assembled enclosure.
  2. Select your enclosure size. Confirm the full length, depth, and height shown in the size menu.
  3. Select your viewing windows. Choose solid sides, left, right, or both; the selected price includes the window upgrade.
  4. Discuss custom requests before purchasing. For other dimensions, special features, or expedited production options, request a custom quote.
  5. Review every detail before payment. Confirm your selections and delivery information. For a custom estimate, make sure every agreed-upon specification appears on the estimate or order form; our production team builds from that form.
  6. Place your order. Your enclosure will be built to the specifications on your order.
