Hi, sorry for making another topic again (third in the past week) but I will soon be getting a Russian tortoise and want to give him/her the best life they could possibly have and I was hoping you guys could suggest items for my enclosure.
I will need a thermometer that can automatically turn on/off the lighting depending on the time and heat for my enclosure. I'm in the UK so I already have a heating and UV bulb all in one that I've ordered (photo below) and have ordered another bulb for night.
Also what substrate (I've looked at coconut coir substrate but there are lots available on Amazon and I'm unsure which to buy) And what type of plate should I put the food on? As I know it is important in order to prevent an overgrown beak.
Could you guys suggest stuff from Amazon, or a place that would deliver to the UK?
I was also wondering is silicone safe at the bottom of an enclosure? I've converted a bookcase and have lined the bottom with a shower curtain and I am looking at using silicone to stick the plastic to the wood at the sides in order to make it more resistant to moisture.
Thanks again everyone!
