I have two mature female red footed tortoises and I've seen them bred by my mature male. I have never had tortoises nest and I built them a new indoor enclosure 3 feet by 12 feet and planning on having 8 to 12 inches of substrate. I wanted to find out from someone with experience with nesting tortoises. Will that amount of substrate be sufficient?
Should I have them in a separate nest box?
Should the nesting box need to be lit or dark?
Any advice would be appreciated.
