Been working on two enclosures for my soon-to-be son, a Russian Tort named Sunny 🌞
We still have to add a topper, substrate, and enrichment to the outdoor one. Plus add a frame for the cold box to sit on top of. We were thinking creeping thyme for some ground cover with stones in between (think shire vibes).
We will add a ramp to the indoor one as well as all the other enrichment goodies and substrate.
The rescue that I'm adopting Sunny from provided this link: https://reptifiles.com/russian-tortoise-care-sheet
I'm wondering about all the lights needed for the indoor enclosure and what you all recommended for us. Should we do exactly as the link above suggests? We live in Indianapolis, IN (in case that makes any difference climate-wise).
Also this is our first tort and just hope to give him a really good home after his last experience with humans.
