Help !! I’ve done so much research about my baby. Some people say no basking area needed some say to have one that’s 95 degrees. Some say they don’t need much UVB light others say they need a good amount of it. I’ve heard so much things that contradict each other so I just need to know what to do. I do have a semi open enclosure but I put a humid towel over one side to trap the humidity in and I have a screen cover covering most of it and I mist the enclosure 2 times a day. I know everybody thinks closed chambers are way better so should I use plastic to cover up the entire enclosure or use plexiglass or something else ? This is only my second day with my baby tortoise as it arrived yesterday morning. I give it daily soaks and I use cypress as it’s bedding. I also put orchid moss in its hideouts to keep him more humid. I tried giving him some leafy greens yesterday but he didn’t want it or wasn’t hungry. He did drink some water from his soak. Is there anything I’m doing wrong or what else do I need to do in order to make sure he survives.
