Hi guys thanks for the add. I’m a new tortious owner (horsefield) around 7 months old now ... bred in the uk . Lovely little thing . I STILL DONT HAVE A NAME FOR IT ... any suggestions would be great.

Hi and welcome!

If you notice your little tortoise's eyes watering and if he starts to keep them closed, change out that spiral-shaped light for a tube type. When those lights first came out they burned the baby tortoises' eyes. However, you have yours mounted horizontally, so you may not run into the eye problem.
