Got a young Hermann Tortoise 2 weeks ago, who we believe is a yearling (pet shop were not the most helpful). We set him up in a table but just wanted some advice on whether it's the best it can be for the little guy.
The temp is around 33-35 Celsius in the hotter end and between 22-25 in the colder end. I let it get to between 16-19 at night. The humidity stays around 50%. We are using Pro Life tortoise substrate, a couple of inches deep.
Whilst the glass has a green grass effect, I'm sure he is still seeing his reflection in it and this is stressing him out.
I am considering getting a "humid hide" with some orchid moss or whatever it's called. Would people recommended this?
Any other comments or ideas on the set up would be hugely appreciated. Thanks guys [emoji4][emoji106]
