hi guys! Im about to get my enclosure in 2 days.. it’s basically 4’ long and 2’ wide and 1.5’ tall.. any specifics on how the lighting should be? Thanks!! would appreciate if you can share photos of your enclosure.. btw these are for testudos..
I can`t understand why so many people think because a tortoise is small, the tort is happy living in a very small "enclosure", I call it prison. Torts are wild creatures and they need much space to roam around like they can do in the wild.
Sorry, I don`t want to upset you. That was not my intention.View attachment 221597 View attachment 221596
I agree! If only i could get them in a bigger space i would! For now i got them in this! I could not get it any bigger until i get a new place.. hopefully they will respond well in their new home.. too bad i didn’t get what i asked for..

You asked for lightning ? You will need a heat lamp and a lamp that produces UVB. How cold is it in your house at night ? Below 68 F ?
Then you will need a Ceramic heat emitter too that keeps the enclosure around 68 F at night.
At day the warmth should be 100 F under the basking spot and 80 F in colder side of the enclosure.
Do you have more questions ? Please ask them.
No not at all.. in fact i would love to get more feedback from more experienced persons as much as i can as i am limited of space and resources..i have to drive for few hours to get their supplies.. specially the heating equipments.. i used to work long hours so i get to arrange them during weekends, then i have to take them out evry other day for a quick sun bathing and soaking. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I am sorry to hear that it is so difficult for you to get the tortoise eqipment that you need. You cannot order these things on Amazon in your land ?No not at all.. in fact i would love to get more feedback from more experienced persons as much as i can as i am limited of space and resources..i have to drive for few hours to get their supplies.. specially the heating equipments.. i used to work long hours so i get to arrange them during weekends, then i have to take them out evry other day for a quick sun bathing and soaking. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Natural sun is the best for every tortoise. Daily soaks are necessary for good hydration of the tort. Do you have accsess to fresh greens to feed ?
I own two Hermanni tortoises too. And sulcatas and redfoot tortoises.
When you want to ask me questions, please feel free to do.
