Oh these tiles are great. They have rough surface on them so the grip is great.
However the tortoise spent the majority of the time in the outdoor enclosure anyway, this is literally his evening sleep cage.
And he sleeps in a like a fabric dog sleeping space.
Last year, for about 8 months I was struggling with itchy patches, and me and the doctors were convinced I had eczema. Tried lotions, medications and creams with no help and we couldn't find out what I am allergic too.
At one point I thought I was allergic to my sulcata lol. However, one day I...

Yah I have wondered about this
because rattle snakes actually use and live in the burrows tortoises make in the wild
That means they actually share the space with close proximity.
It's even captured on this documentary
So what happened if the snake is startled and bite the tortoise?

Apparently putting it at the back of the house will bring financial stability
It's one of the 4 celestial animals.
I do tiles for one side, a huge towel for the other. i can dampen the towel for humidity
But usually this is just his sleeping enclosure
He gets the outdoor enclosure all day.
Hey, if you can afford it, you should expand the enclosure ( use a tube). Make sure to provide:
1. heat light - hottest spot, 100F - maintaining the enclosure above 80 F
2. UVB light. Put it a good 20 cm above the shell
3. a humid hide enough for all of them - a cave, with wet sphagnum moss (...
Yes he has 4 meals a day. Is almost 1kg now
He eats grasses, weeds and everything.
But if I take him out for a walk. He would actively sniff for poop to eat. I have to remove him everytime from the dog poops that he found!
Also he devoured his own poop as well if I don't remove it quickly...
I had eczema for an entire year out of nowehere, until I discovered that I'm either allergic to the coco coir substrate/ or the dust mites in the encolsure!
Was super itchy for months.
The moment I got rid of it, my eczema went away. So there's that to consider.
