I am thinking about getting a Russian Tortoise(Captive bred of course, not from the pet store)and I am new to tortoises.I have done research and here is my plan.I want to use a 50-gallon storage container with a shallow, large rubbermaid deli container as a water bowl so my tortoise can soak.I am planning on use a 50/50 mixture of play sand and topsoil as substrate and making it about 3 inches deep although i will make it deeper in the corners so he can burrow.I am gonna use a half log for a hide, a reptisun 10.0 for a uvb bulb and a 100-160 watt bulb for heat.I am also gonna take him out a few times a week to let him roam the house free.Does this sound good to you guys?
