Hermann's Setup?

[jaredherman]

I like to use a mix of organic top soil and coco coir for my substrate. Here is a pic of my little mans old enclosure for some ideas..

That looks really well done jaredherman. are the plants real? I am planning on going to the nursery nearby today with my print out from thetortoisetable to find some good edible plants to add to the enclosure.

Thank you! Yes the plants are real, but he never really tries to eat them. If you plant something in you enclosure that he does like it wont last long..

I hope to find something like the spider plant or another similar plant that can grow up and then down into the torts reach. or maybe just grow some out of the enclosure and rotate them in as they grow. I first have to start learning about growing plants beause everything ive ever planted has died. even the succulent in my enclosure is wilting... i think it may be over watered as it hasnt dried out on the bottom by the roots?!1?
