I am getting my cage together and am looking forward to getting a couple pancake tortoises pretty quickly. I have a few questions though, that have remained unanswered as I've been reading online.
- What is the best ambient air temp for an indoor enclosure, both during the day and at night? I've heard a basking spot of 95+ is good for the day.
- What other substrates are good beyond coconut fibre and potting soil? I'm looking for something natural looking, but that will also be safe.
- How long do pancakes live, and how long do they reproduce? I saw one place say they only live 20-30 years which seems short for a tortoise.
Thanks!
