tryme said:What is the best beginners tortoise? I know hermanns are meant to be good for a starter. Do all tortoises require a uvb tube?

Stazz said:I am sure everyone will agree with me when I say, a definite no to a vivarium...a viv is not good for any tort, at anytime, no matter how much ventilation you have in it.
I have a Greek tortoise, she is very easy to care for, and very friendly & adventurous! It's better to have as much space for them than too little.
I'm not too sure with regards to your other questions, I think the I will leave them to the Pro's But my opinion, they DEF require UVB.
But that's me
Just make sure you do some good research about the tort you want before you purchase it, the more you know, the better
GOOD LUCK

I see nothing wrong with the use of vivariums under certain conditions.
