Get the 65 watt light but that is what the light looks like. If you cant find 65 70 should be fine as long as it’s not too close to your tortoise that it will burn him.

Thanks for understanding! I showed my parents the care sheet, but maybe they will read over it again. I tried looking for an incandescent light bulb for him, but they are really expensive! Do you know any places where I can order/get a cheap one? Plus is a big (60 cm) tub fine for him? I try to also take him outside to get fresh air for a few hours with lettuce and I feed him water, is that fine for him? He seems to like it a lot. (Why am I asking so many questions?)

Unfortunately the enclosure you have is still too small. The bubbles you see it is same bubbles we humans make when we are sick. It is the same as you are sick and your nose is runny. Except for a tortoise it is a bit more complicated.
We have some tortoise owners in your country I am wondering if possibly there is a way to look them up and maybe they know places where you can get some of the supplies you need.
Do you know any names of pet stores in your country?
I know petsmart, petco etc. are probably not the stores you have. If you know any of the store names let us know and maybe we can look online and see if they have things you need.
Do you have any friends that also maybe have a tortoise as a pet ?

The problem is, is that I am quarantined and I cannot go anywhere to buy anything until next week. So I just wanted to know if there is some where I can order for the cheapest price/ or if I can get ready and know what I need to buy and then go buy them next week. Thanks for helping!

Yes it is too small. Did you ask your friends how they keep their tortoises ? Maybe ask them where do they buy any supplies, or maybe if they have anything extra that they don’t use anymore?

You can also try ebay for tanks. If you type in reptile tank. You can get a starter tank for your baby with everything included but it’s going to cost a little over 100 dollars with everything included. You can look on google and type reptile tank, reptile light, reptile substrate and see what works best for you with shipping.
