I have a portable green house in my backyard and was thinking about moving my tortoise into it because I have had troubles keeping his enclosure humid in the past. If he was kept in a greenhouse would I still need a UVB bulb?
I don't know much about star torts but he looks good to me. Looks healthy and is eating. I wouldn't be worried, but yet again I am the farthest thing from a star tort expert.
I am okay with tortoise town. I got a red foot hatchling from them once and I know they are supposed to be inactive as a hatchling but literally all he does is sleep and eat! But they have smooth delivery but I would not use them as a first choice. Better to get from someone on the forum or a...
