Wanted to double check my list to see if I was missing anything before I dive into getting a baby Greek Tortoise:
Food:
-Broadleaf Testudo Mix (will get two weeks before getting Tortoise to have it grown out enough to clip) Also, how many pots should I have it growing in to keep up food supplies? Can I mix in storebought every now and then?
-Mazuri Tortoise Diet
-Cactus Pads when available
Enclosure:
-3’x3’ plywood enclosure lined with shower curtain lining and lid on half to retain humidity and will make bigger as tortoise grows
-Coco coir substrate
-Sphagnum moss to help retain humidity
-Hide with sphagnum moss as well
Heating:
-Zoo Med 18" Repti Sun 5.0 UVB bulb
-https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-75-...Light-with-5-1-2-in-Shade-HD-200PDQ/205139241 (but will put a grill cover over open side and lay it on top so it’s not clipped on) Also what king of bulb would you recommend?
-Zoo Med Repti Temp Digital Infrared Thermometer
-will take outside for an hour a day after work
How does this list look so far? Anything you would recommend?
