Hi everyone! We are getting a Russian hatchling who is due to be delivered tomorrow morning. First time tortoise owners... For now we have him in a 40 gallon breeding tank and will eventually get a bigger enclosure as he grows.
Anywho, I read that they need 12 hours with the lights on (I have a basking light and a UV light). We have a timer I planned on keeping the lights on from 8am-8pm. I'm confused though for the other 12 hours is there just darkness? Won't the little guy get cold???
