After much research on TFO, my enclosure is done, temps are in 80s daytime/70s @ night (TY @ZEROPILOT! :) ), humidity 80+% everywhere, and a biosubstrate with many plants, earthworms and roly-poly bugs, my darling hatchlings are here from Vicki @ Tortoise Yard.

Thanks! I'm in love already! ;) I also got the approval of dog and cat while they were soaking in the sun today! Lol
They haven't eaten a lot, but some. I haven't offered fruit yet, gave weeds, greens, hibiscus leaves/flowers, & aloe to not get them used to the sweet stuff at first!

Oh yes, I just lowered the soaking bin to the ground briefly, as they were wondering why it was making noise! Lol A short inspection and they walked away. :)

They ate a lot more today! Yard weeds and baby portabella mushroom, almost all gone in minutes!! And nibbling on enclosure plants!! :)
They are not shy, seem to like all areas of enclosure. I'm learning where they hide and sleep.
Wish I had a Torti Cam for when I'm at work! Lol

Mine dislike Portabellas. But love other types.
Go figure.

It's what I had on hand.. Trial and error at this point, right?! Hibiscus flowers, but not the leaves (even young ones), are popular. Even during soaking time!! Lol. It's so nice to just reach over and grab a bloom :)!
