Hello everyone,
I have two elongated tortoises and I am having problems with understanding what indoor inclosure and substrate is best for them.
I understand that they like darkness and humidity but I am not sure whether they should be kept in a vivarium or tortoise table. Please can someone let me know what is best for them?
They are currently in a vivarium but they don't seem happy. I live in England so the temperatures are lower than other places, however, my home is never cold.
I have considered buying a tortoise table and having a humidity box at one end and a darkness shelter at the other, with the heat lamps/mats in the middle.
I have never had this breed of tortoise before and they were given to me as "marginated" so unfortunately, I have very little knowledge on them.
Any help/information on these beautiful creatures is greatly appreciated!!
