[TiddlesTheTortoise2]

I just want anyone to see if there is anything I should add or take out of etc his enclosure!! Also if you can send pictures of your enclosures I want to see them he also has a area on the left that is covered and dark but it’s not very interesting lol

What’s the substrate?
Your enclosure looks a little too small. I would upgrade soon.

The substrate is a mix of cypress mulch and coconut terrain

Oh also I just worked out the size of his enclosure it’s 3982.75cm squared

i would sink the water bowl into the substrate more that way there is no flip hazard (i'm super cautious)

Clamp light is a no no....unless you have good insurance.

They are very dangerous as the clamp is guaranteed to fail at some point

wait do you mean fall?

 

[method89]

by fail I mean fall, start a fire, burn the tort, all the worst imaginable things ( dramatic I know but they aren't worth the risk in my opinion)

okay what lamp do you recommend more then?

 

[method89]

the lamp itself is fine, i just wouldnt use the clamp. I would either buy a lampstand or make one

That is way too small. If you want to measure in cm, I would shoot for at least 10,000 sq cm. as a minimum. And double that for an adult.
