Ok I'm planning to get a Dalmatian Hermann's in a few weeks and ive done my rrsearch and here's what i've got so far.....
Substrate: 60-70% organic top soil or potting soil, 20-25% coco coir and the remainder sphagnum moss and leaves.
Thoroughly mixed and about 2-2.5" deep. Spray twice daily and once a week thoroughly saturate and churn the substrate to keep it moist.
Humidity: 50-75%
Lighting/Heating/basking spot temp: still working on that, I can't seem to find any clear answers on it.
Diet: Bok Choy, endive, escarole, cilantro, occasional carrots, mustard greens, dandelions, basil, mulberry leaves, optunia cactus, Grape leaves, holly hock leaves, clover, hawkbits, sowthistle, hawkweeds, hawkbeards, plantains, honeysuckle, cat's ears, vetches, mallows, Bindweeds, sedums, ivy leafed toadflax, various grasses and of course Mazuri tortoise diet
Supplements: rep-cal 2 times a week and herptivite once a week. Calcium with D3 not sure how much.
All advice is welcome
