I'm planning on getting a tortoise, that is about 8cm in length, I was told to get a 60*120 cm enclosure,
I already have a basking bulb: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CEOZYNC/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
ceramic heat bulb: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WQZXV4Z/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
thermometer and hygrometer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY3X7P9/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
basking platform: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ML5TPM2/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
and a hide: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010ONMV4/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
this is my 3d design of the enclosure (I might add a bigger hide in the corner)
and these are the measurements I'm using:
I believe the only thing I'm missing is a uvb 10 strip, a local pet shop has a komodo uvb 10 t8 75cm strips but I have a few questions about installing them, I was told to place the strip in the lower side of the bridge in the middle so it can cover the enclosure, how should I go about this, is a ballast necessary?

I also want to get supplements but I'm not sure if they are good or not:

I'm getting tort food as well: https://petzone.com/ksa/zoo-med-grassland-tortoise-food-992g.html
any suggestions or help are appreciated!!
