Hi
Just looking for some advice. My table is built and everything else on order but just looking for a bit of last minute advice, the tortoise will be young.
I have bought 2x temp/humidty thermometers, is the ideal warm temp 32°? Is there an ideal humidity, iv read young ones need it to be more humid?
What should I do straight out of box so to speak? Pop him straight in and not handle for a few days?
Do they have to be a certain age before I let him out in the garden or can I let him straight out? Can you let them out in the living room supervised on a carpet?
Also they have Hermanns and Horsefileds. I am pretty much decided on a Horsfeild. Hoever I am going to look at them next week, should I suddenly decide I prefer the Hermann would that make a difference to my table set up?
thanks all
