Hey there! I finally started on my indoor tortoise enclosure for my red foot. We started with organic potting soil (no fertilizer) and a 55 gallon tank. We got an aloe plant, an agave cactus, and the third plant I forget the name! But it was on the list of "safe plants". We made a hide on one end with some bricks. She seems to like it so far I think, she's explored and looked around, was still checking it out when I left for work tonight.
It's not done yet, I'll be getting some seeds for Creeping Jenny's or some sort of Sedum for ground cover. I'll also be getting a "decorative background" to block out the back and sides. I also will be installing a CHE on one (or both ends...not sure yet) and a UVB light strip across the top. I figure this setup will do at least for this year before we can upgrade by next winter. Thanks for looking, let me know what you think, any other suggestions are appreciated.
