Hey everyone, I’m about to finally get my tortoise! I have never had a tortoise before and I need some help. I’ve had many species of reptiles and amphibians, but caring for those are a bit different. I was looking to get a red foot hatchling or a leopard hatchling. I live in Illinois so the climate is different compared to Florida where I see a lot of people posting from. I do plant to keep indoors but, would one species be better for my climate? Or do you prefer one over the other? and why? I also am struggling with choosing the proper light for these guys. Should I have a basking bulb and a UVB or a combo bulb? Heat pad? Night time light? Humidity levels? I do have a temp gun so I can tell the ground temp and air temp. I made some calls to some of the more exotic pet stores within a 2hr radius of me and nobody had what I wanted besides a shop owner said to call in a week because he’ll hopefully be getting one or the other. If that doesn’t work out I’m not sure where to go, to my knowledge there are no breeders in the area and I’ve read mixed reviews about a lot of popular sites. I did just come across tortstork (like 10 minutes ago), is that reputable? Or are there any other amazing breeders I can order from? thank you all, sorry for all the questions!
