Hey guys, this is just a ran down of the items I want to use for my first indoor enclosure. Please let me know if it works
This will be placed on a table
Mixing Tub (36x28x8 inches)
Substrate
Bottom Layer just plain dirt from the backyard? - this allows me to plant some grass patches
Top layer - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Better-...VXD2tBh1KUQJvEAQYASABEgKXRvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Hide Box
black dish washing tub with soaked orchid bark
water dish - plant saucer
Heating
45-65 watt incandescent flood bulb, does this bulb work with any lamp? I have a minimalist string lamp which is basically just a wire with a bulb. If it works then I can just replace the bulb and it'll be easier to manipulate the wire around the pan to adjust lighting.
- thermometers too
Am I missing anything else or this would work?
I think I'm good on the UV rays department since I live in SoCal, our yard gets sun all year long whether we want them or not... I know Tom mentioned hr of sunlight per inch of the tortoise, is this per day?
Thanks for your feed back in advance.
