Hi all,
I've recently bought two tortoise which I believe are Greek tortoises but do no know the subspecies. I have just set up this enclosure, which I know does not have a UV light yet as I live in the middle east and find it hard to get but I have ordered some from the Uk to be delivered. The temperature is constant at around 25 celsius at the minute until I get the lamp I have ordered. Is this a suitable temperature at night which is my concern. The substrate is aspen shavings. I have experimented with a mixture of sand and soil but found it was sticking to them and getting all over their food. Ive attached pictures of the enclosure and the two tortoises. Any ID and sex as well as enclosure tips would be greatly appreciated. The tortoise with the darker undershell is bob and the lighter undershell is bubbles.
