Hi All,
My name is Danielle and I bred cresteds, chahouas, corns, and hogg isle boas for 9 years. Fast forward I'm a mom with two teenagers, sold my collection, and now work full time. I've always loved torts but keeping other reptiles I didn't have the space. I finally have free space!! I live in Maryland so outdoor space year round isn't possible but I am working on building something outdoors and will have lots of building questions later. For now I am looking at acquiring a hatching and have a 116 qrt steralite bin, tons of spagnum, cypress mulch, 100 watt mercury flood UVB bulbs, lighting stands, thermometers for both humidity and heat, shallows food dishes, and love What I don't have is knowledge!
I am currently growing prickly pear and aloe as succulants but I want a red foot and have read indoor habitats get plowed down? My plan besides the grocery store and grazing outdoors while is nice is to supplement with some home grown indoor plants to start. I've read dozens of websites but am horticulturally not inclined so latin names with no pictures don't help. I've got dandelion, clover, and other greenage but is there a thread with pics I can reference? I keep finding UK threads with plants not indigenous to Maryland? BTW no tortoise will come home until I maintain humidity and temps as well as knowing safe plants in md to feed. So no rush at all want the perfect hatchling set-up, good idea of natural flora to feed, and plants I can grow indoors
