With that poor advise the breeder gave you, you should be questioning how s/he cares for their hatchlings. I'm guessing not in the best possible way.Hi, thanks for your response. I thought it was not the best. Will take your advise.

In your picture it looks like you are using a cfl type UV lamp? Those are not effective and they are sometimes harmful. They don't make much UV and at that distance your tortoise will get zero benefit. Some of those bulbs emit damaging rays which cause corneal ulcers and blindness. They should not be sold or used, but people keep buying them, so they keep selling them.When I picked my tortoise I've seen the setup. Very professional and they were very nice, spend a few hours with me so I could pick the right one.
I'm new to having tortoises and want to give my little one the best I can so I went for the Coco Coir as advised by some of you. Please see attached picture. Thoughts?
Next is the outside enclosure.
Welcome! Please post photos when you can! We all want to see the new arrival!!Hi, thanks for your response. I thought it was not the best. Will take your advise.
