Hello,
I just got my tortoise 2 days ago. I live in Chicago and for most time out of the year, can not keep my tortoise outside. I have a 40 gallon tank (I have now learned that glass is not the best so looking into tank wall paper) and he seems to kind of move around but curious to explore more. I want to take him out of his tank and supervise him roaming around my room for an hourish daily. Is this okay to do?? If I am look the entire time and making sure there isn’t anything he can chew? Will this confuse the tortoise in anyway?
Also I have a heat and uv lamp and wanted to know how long I should have them on for if my house temp is 70F.
