I haven't taken an updated pic since yesteday . But I got some sphagnulus moss? & I put it in the enclosure also. I also have a log house for it.

I meant I have to setup the stand for it because I don't have a screen lid.

The lamp light temp was 75 degrees where I had my thermomentor at. Yes I soaked him while I was getting ready for work & I got him from tortoise supply. I'm going to setup the heat/uvb tonight.

Hey guys so I just got my baby Hermann today. I got called into work So I didn't get to setup the UVB light . All I have running now is a desk lamp. Will he be okay when I get home? I'm worried..

That makes more sense. thanks!

Thanks! Can anyone tell me the difference between loose coconut coir bedding & compressed coconut bedding?

Thanks again. Hmm I think I may go with the container setup. At night would I just close up the top with the lid??? Or just leave it open? I wouldn't mind putting 2 containers together but I wouldn't know how to hook them up.

:DThanks for the valuable info Tom. Yes I've read the articles many times, but it doesn't hurt to keep reading them! :D Since the zoo med housing isn't recommended. What is ? I've read up different housings but I don't know what to use. I can't place it outside right now because it's to cold...

So I plan to use Cypress mulch. Coir bricks ( or should I just buy the large bag?) So now I'm wondering if I can mix top soil in or should I stay away from that ? Also, I'm getting the zoo med tortoise hut .. I was wondering if I could put spaghnum moss in the back to keep the humidity up...

Thanks! I've thought bout feeding my tortoise Timothy hay too.. Have U tried ?

That sounds awesome. I've been reading so much. I realize that there are lots of different plants & weeds out there they can eat.. But what are your favorites to feed the tortoise?

Really? Is it that easy? So when it grows do I just pull it out & feed it to my tortoise? Or do I place my tray in the tortoise pen?

Hey guys what's an easy grass or food source to grow .. Something that doesn't require much attention too. I'm a college student so I don't have time to tend to a garden.

Hey I'm narrowing it down to a 5 yr old male RT or a hatchling RT... Hmmm

Yes that's very true. Like I said I just would like it to be small for now but in the future when it grew I would have a better enclosure for it.
