Lisa and Tucker welcome to TFO. I'm glad you have found this forum of value. I know I certainly have.

A great site about hermann tortoises is both www.gardenstatetortoise.com and www.hermannihaven.com

Tucker is adorable....I would reconsider placing food directly on that bark substrate...that stuff may accidentally be ingested while trying to consume the food....

 

[lisamarie10]

Thank you ) I shall move the food also looking for a spider plant to put in there for him - any thoughts or better suggestions?

Hello and Welcome

 

[ascott]

Do you have some type of top for the enclosure? Like to cover about 3/4 or so off the top...a top will allow warmth and humidity to balance out a bit which is a good thing for the baby....any safe plants are good, you can also use silk plants as a variety of hiding places, I just would avoid silk plants that have decorative berries and such....

 

[lisamarie10]

Thank you - no I don't hv a top - I shall do by Tom though
