Hi,
I am new to keeping tortoises. I have recently bought a Greek spur thighed tortoise who is under a year old.
He has a heat/uv lamp which is on for 12 hours a day in his main area.
He also has a heat mat which is taped to the roof of his sleeping area( as instructed to do by the shop I bought him from).
The heat mat is on 24/7, is this necessary?
He sleeps a lot but seems happy and eating.
