I went shopping today. Bought all the accessories needed to set up my new torts table. The actual tort table arrives on the 11th, and my new baby arrives on the 12th. I'm so excited!
What I bought:
Heat/basking light with small dome and light stand to hold it over the one end of the table
UVB light to place over the middle of the table
Heat mat to place underneath for the night time hide box area
Power Center timer that controls when all lights and heat sources go on and off
Thermometer
Shallow feeding dish
Soak dish
100% Cypress Mulch
All natural Sphagnum Moss
Cuttle Bone
Calcium Supplement
Food items will be bought night before tort arrives for freshness. He/she does come with tort food that he/she has been raised on.
The PetSmart near me even gets cactus (the kind torts eat) in once a month. I decided to hold off and buy that once the tort is here as I am not sure how long it keeps and did not want it spoiling before Henri (name for tort) even gets here.
Am I missing anything? I want everything to be ready so if I need something else please tell me now.
Oh...and I already found a vet who has tort experience and made a health check appointment so my new baby can get checked out the day he/she gets here.
Aside from checking respiratory and fecal, anything else I should have the vet check?
