Here are some photos of how I set up my baby tortoises. I have used this method for radiateds, russians, and burmese stars. I will be using this method on some greeks I will be obtaining as well. The difference between the tropical and mediterranean species is how moist I keep the sphagnum moss. The Radiateds and Burmese get more moisture compared to the Russians.
I put a piece of cardboard over the sphagnum moss to help keep the moss moist and give the hatchlings "a better sense of security". I usually throw the food on a lid (obtained from sour cream or cottage cheese). Under everything is newspaper.
The tupperware used is pretty small unless I am maintaining a lot more animals. I cut the lids in half and keep one-half of the lid over the "humid hide".
Included are some photos of some of my babies. Pics of the russians are in the classifieds section
