Greetings and Salutations! My 12 week old baby girl Western Hermann's from Garden State Tortoise arrives tomorrow before noon! I am beside myself with excitement!!!!!
I've gone through Chris' and the Mediterranean care sheets and think all is in good shape but just want to make sure no one spies any hazards that I missed in her new home. The substrate is fine orchid bark and coco coir. The plants are peperomia variegated scandens, peperomia blanda var. floribunda , and plectranthus australis, all of which seem to be safe based on either the TT or this forum. Temperatures are:
Ambient day: 84-87 F (CHE)
Ambient night: 76-80 F
Humidity: 83-85%
Basking: peak of 90 F (incandescent bulb)
UV: 2.7-4.2 uvi Arcadia 12%
The humid hide is on the same side of the viv as the CHE so stays on the warmer side of things day and night.
The UV light is on from 10:00am-3:30pm.
The basking light is on from 7:00am-7:30pm.
The LED ambient light is on from 7:00am-7:30pm.
There's a photo attached in case anyone has time to see if they notice any hazards that I missed.
Many thanks in advance!!
