I will soon be receiving two juvenile Aldabras (100-200g I suspect). Here is the enclosure 200x60cm that I've prepared for them.
As I mentioned in the other post (Indian star enclosure) I've decided to place the water bowl almost directly below the MVB, to ensure high humidity, which hopefully counteracts some of the negative effects associated with the MVB bulbs. I've read that Aldabras love bathing, so they have an extra large 'bath'.
I'll be replacing the strangely placed lightbulb in the back with a CHE, to keep temperatures up during the night.
Depending on where they hide, I may add a plastic box as a hide.
I fully expect the plants to be destroyed by the tortoises, but I'd consider that 'enrichment'.
Feedback is welcome.
