Hi,
I have had a 18 months radiated tortoise for the last months and I am not entirely sure my setup is optimal as he/she is not active and spend most of his/her day basking in the same spot all day and night. She/he only moves twice a day just to eat. I have attached my enclosure setup to see if you guys have recommendations/comments that would help my tortoise be in the best environment possible
- the basking lamp is on dimmer thermostat set at 34C
- the heating bulb is on pulse thermostat and set at 30C
- the uvb light is Arcadia ProT5 UVB Kit, 34in/39w Forest
- substrate is top soil and play sand
I mist the enclosure 2/3 times a day to try and keep humidity level between 60 and 80 but it’s not an easy task as it dries out really quickly.
any thoughts on my setup?
