Hello, I just rescued a Russian Tortoise a few days ago. I have a 50 gallon rubber maid container. I realize that the sand is bad for him, and that will be fixed soon, but I have a few questions.
1) He is set up in my basement where, in the night time, goes down to about 50 degrees. Is it okay to leave an infrared heat lamp on during the night and for the temp to be at 85*?
2) I have a vet appointment tomorrow, and I was wondering if any of you travel with your tortoises?
3) How much "stuff" should you have in your tank besides the obvious?
Thank you to whom ever answers this, and I'm so sorry that I'm new to this.
