Hi everyone, I’m going to be bringing home my first tortoise very soon, it’s a Herman and Iv been spending a lot of time trying to make sure I know everything I need to know and to make sure iv the perfect set up iv bought a 2ft wooden vivarium that will be upgraded once my tort gets bigger and for lighting iv bought the Arcadia ACU15 ultra seal controller 14-15w with an Arcadia euro range 10 percent D3+ desert reptile light and also an exo Terra aluminum dome with an exo Terra PT2136 intense basking spot light I’m hoping iv made the right decisions with this and also from researching iv come to understand that coco coir is the best substrate but some torts may eat it now I know that the person I’m getting it from has them on wood chip bedding so I’m wondering should I stick to that or change to coco coir and also iv read multiple things about hibernation but some say because it will be living inside that it won’t need to go into hibernation is this true? thanks to anyone that can give me some advice
