I am in the process of receiving 2 cheery head's, yes I know they should not be in pairs, that is why I have plans to add more within a year. Until I receive them I am working on a closed chamber enclosure which I hope will last from hatchling to juvenile age. From there I will have a much larger enclosure built for the winter months.
OK, with that summary, my questions are:
1. 3' x 6' to big for them as hatchling?
2. For humidity and water, is a small pond like setup OK? Meaning, I want to use a small pre-molded pond insert or cement mix tub with rock bottom along with a fountain pump. I don't know if waterfall or just a tortoise squirting out water from its mouth to recycle the water around. Plan also to put a CHE above / near this water also.
If the pond is no good, I was thinking a PVC tubing running under the cypress mulch substrate with coco fiber or dirt.
this will allow me to pour water in the tubing to get directly to the mulch with no wet surface.
Please share your comments, and I will continue to read over all the other post for more ideas.
