You could save on all these lights if you just got a heat emitter and a long tube UVB 5.0. How are you going to keep the humidity in? I would add some plants...bury them right in their little pots if you want. A large water dish that he could climb in and out easily.You could also cover it partially with Plexiglas...that would hold in the humidity.

Hi Scottbox:

Welcome to the forum!!

Your new habitat looks great except kind of barren. It might be a good idea to smooth the plastic out and secure it better. If a tortoise can get a "foothold" he will tear that up in no time. I like your substrate and the size, now you just need to add some plants. Fake or real, doesn't matter, but the real ones help to keep it humid.

yeah i have wanted to add some plants just blew a lottttt of money on the enlosure. yeah i fixed the liner up a bit, added a big paint tray for water, and some ceramic heat emitters. also for humidity i have a warm mist humidifier on the cool end blowing in some warm humid air. i just havnt founnd any good fake plants to throw in there, i think any real ones he would just eat.. he eats like a horse!
