Hello fellow tort lovers!!
Greg’s new enclosure has been built and I’m trying to figure out the best arrangement for him.
It’s 60x 30 with 16 inch walls. Its been coated in latex paint so I hope it holds up.
I am thinking of setting it up like this
I want to give him a range of temps/humidity/substrate. I have cococoir and orchid bark.
I am thinking about covering only a portion of the enclosure with a green house tent as I’m finding difficulty finding something 60 inches long.
The green house portion will have the humid hide, a Che, and a water bowl- thinking about having plants in there but playing around with location.
The open area will have another different heat source on the other side a large wading water dish and several food stations.
I have the substrates separated right now and am liking it as it’s easy to clean up the lettuce he throws around when it’s on the orchid bark. Where should the different substrate go in this arrangement? Should the cococoir go in the humid side. Or I could even just surround the water and food areas w orchid bark. And go coco coir everywhere else.
Or does anyone have suggestions? I know nothing I do will be permanent but I’d like to use others trial and error to my advantage and create an enjoyable environment for Greg.
