Hello everyone! Well, today I went out and bought myself a leopard tortoise. The exotic pet shop where I bought her claims that their breeder tries to breed females so for now I have named my new baby Molly. Before making this purchase I spent alot of time researching how to make her the happiest and healthiest tortoise possible. (I am also a pet cate specialist for a pet store chain) I still have some question though:
1.) In the pics I have posted please look to see if I am missing anything. She has food and water dishes, a hide, and a uvb bulb on the right. The left bulb is the heat spot lamp. Her tank has been cruising at around 79-80 degrees farenheight. The substrate is a 50/50 mixture of eco-earth and sand.
2.) Does Molly know when to stop eating? In her bowl I have placed collard greens and some mushed up Zoomed tortoise pellets. She really likes the greens and I was told that she ate them at the pet shop as well.
3.) Should I bathe Molly? How often and for how long?
I am asking these questions because Google gave me very mixed answers on the subjects and I want to know what you guys think.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
