Any of u guys had experienced with radiata ? i've been given a chance to keep this amazing torts
but i still dont know how to make an adequate habitat for this torts
i quote this from chelonia.org
In many ways, Radiated tortoises are like a combination of many other tortoises in terms of their care. While they do periodically experience very dry climates such as the Leopard tortoise (Geochelone pardalis) they are also in a monsoon region and experience heavy rains and generally very wet weather. One behavior that has developed with Radiated tortoises is that they will literally dance in the rain almost as if they are trying to shake off debris. They will also drink heavily from the ground during such “monsoonsâ€Â. If supplied with a dry hutch, they can be maintained in fairly humid areas similar to the Redfoot tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria).
so for an indoor habitat.. they suppose to be dry and wet ?
