need enclosure recommendations!

[haha.svt]

Okay guys, I'm starting to set up a dry run type of thing getting an enclosure all together.

I have a 4x2x2 melamine enclosure with the glass removed to keep and open from for ventilation. I have a 48" long 10.0 for uvb and a ceramic heater on a thermostat to help regulate the hot side.


What I don't know is substrate, hides, plants, water etc.

My first tort was a WC desert tortoise that I kept in an outside enclosure because that's where I found him, literally in my backyard so i just made a nice enclosure on the aide of my house and Viola it was done. I've never had a hatching, let alone an inside tort.

I'm doing this off of the mobil app which makes searching kind of a pain in the butt. So I'm looking for a link or explanation to what I need for a good tort set up. I don't k ow which species yet, but I'm sure ill end up with a sulcata or leapord or red foot.


Thanks for your help

Hi Jordan:

Here's a link to a nice article written by one of our moderators. It tells you what you'll need to care for your new tortoise, and also gives some tips about the different types of tortoise that you're interested in:

If you get a baby of any species, I'd put the glass back in.
