Hello
I am a new member to this forum also wanting a leopard tortoise
this is my leopard tortoise set up right now (feedback would be good xD)
i've been reading about " How to Raise A Healthy Sulcata or Leopard " thread and following every steps.
-Substrate-
Im using a coco coir as a substrate, also using some sphagnum moss long fiber in the humid hide boxes.
as for the decoration im using 2x spider plants and the other all are fake.
-Heating and Lighting-
I use a 100 watt light bulb for a basking spot (i put the light fixture on the top which is not showing in this picture) also the temp was always at 100-103 directly under the bulb.
I use a Zoo med reptisun 10.0 (im not sure is this good or not, because it can cause eye problems?)
the hot size (basking) always at 100-103 and the cool size would be 85+ never below 80 ( i use a thermometer gun and thermostat to maintain my ambient temperature in the enclosure)
-Humidity-
Overall it would be over 60% and 80% in the humid hide boxes
-Feeding-
I just ordered some African Grazer Grass Mix from tortoise supply, Herbal Tortoise hay from tortoise supply and TNT nutrition from Carolina supply. I put a cuttle bone in the enclosure as well.
Any feedback would be appreciate
Thank you!!
