Hello all, I am in the process of preparing a welcoming home for my new arrival and I have the box from Zoo Med and the substrate. I need advice on how many lights I need, how long should each be left on? How many times a day should I feed? Do I need to provide a water dish they can soak in?
Thank you !

They need a water dish. Is it a hatchling? If not the zoo med tortoise house is not big enough. But with some modifications it could be fine for a hatchling. I feed my tortoise a big portion in the morning and then a smaller portion in the evening.
