Thank you, these have been so helpful!! I will get slate for the enclosure too. I have seen that on a site that I’ve been looking for things on. I will look for a washing up bowl, I presume plastic and not a metal one which I know you can get, but they are easy and cheap enough to get. what...

Thank you I have also replied in that thread which is Perfect. As you are right Facebook really isn’t great for what you should and shouldn’t do based on these posts. I am going to try and ask the questions about how it has been bought up and the enclosure when I get one so I’ll try and find a...

Thank you, Yes that’s my plan for everything to be Right before hand, even if it takes a while to perfect. I won’t bother with humidifier then. And I’ll do what you said with the thermometer. I have joined a few groups on Facebook who all seem to use soil as well as a family member who does...

Hi, thank you, yes I am planning on the uv been inside the enclosure. The glass on top is purely for light to get in as well as for viewing. I’ll add a drawing at some point of how I plan to have it and upload it. ?

I’ve been looking at heat lamps and holders and I’ve seen a uv light I’m going to get but I need to fix it too the back. How many...

Thanks for your reply, sorry I should of been clearer. I’m going to get a hatchling but want to ensure right conditions to prevent pyramiding as I’ve seen so many contradicting posts and Facebook groups and people and it’s hard to know exactly how to prevent it and help. I will be checking my...

[ This is brilliant thank you so much, I literally posted asking about leopards this morning. Wanting to make sure I get everything right, so I’ll be making a list of the things to get so I can set up the enclosure. Although I’ve not built it yet, how many ventilation holes should I put in? I...

Hi, So I am completely new to tortoises, having done plenty of research into them so far. I haven’t yet got my tortoise but I have decided that I want to get a pyramid tortoise when I do. I have also read lots of conflicting advice on the conditions and enclosures andfrom first reading they...
