I plan on burmating my Russian tortoise in my basement fridge this winter, I plan on doing a decent size cooler enough he can move around in and it's deep, what is a good substrate? Cocoa coir ? I'm getting my fridge to 42 degrees on the bottom shelf I have two thermometers and I'm doing a cooler incase of mild temp fluctuations I think it'll be more stable.
I'm doing this because we are doing major renovations to the basement and that's where she usually stays in the winter I don't want her to get sick from the chemicals or paint or dust.
Also last year I burmated sp? Her for 6 weeks but not in the fridge just in basement floor at 60 degrees
I know she needs to be void of all foods prior
I know there is risk
No no one can take or or put her in another part of the house
