Thanks for the advice . Since I'm getting a 09 Dalmation Hermann hatchling, I know you can't determine a tortoise's sex until they are a bit older but I've seen some older threads on this site where Dan seems to know his stuff so I'm hopeful when i get my little one, it turns out to be a male. I'm really excited and I've already got a name for him/her. A couple of questions though.
*What is the average size for a Male and female Dalmation tortoise? Do they vary like the eastern and western hermann's do?
*I'll be using shredded aspen as substrate in a 40 gallon tub, how many inches of aspen should i provide?
*Can I feed Hay for him/her to munch on?
*I plan on heating the tub with a mercury vapor bulb, should i place the heat/light in the middle of the enclosure or on a side to give a hot and cool side?
