Absolutely, never use those pellets...reason why is they don't hold in moisture and it is important to house your torts depending on species in a humid climate.....cypress mixed with coco fiber of sphagnum moss 50/50 is how i do mine.

Yes they are wrong. No pellets, get outside as much as possible when temps permit, and I wouldn't listen to any of their other advice they may have given you. There are many very knowledgable people on this forum, that knows the correct way. Ask all questions here. I bought my leopard from what I thought was a very knowledgable breeder. I listed to her until I found this forum, and found out I got bad info and now my tort has some pyramiding Thankfully though, due to this forum and it's members, I got new growth to grow smooth. There are a lot of breeders and others out on the net that still don't know the proper care.

Its just a very old site that hasn't been updated in a long time. We used to keep tortoises that way, but have evolved and learned.

I know paul at the tortugavilla, he takes good care of his torts.

It also says not to keep a water bowl with them, which is also false.
