Hi guys/girl ( and torts)
let me start with by say I'm all new to torts.
And very excited To hopefully be getting two Hermann soon ( end of April/may ) but dont want to get them not know every thinking I need to know.
I've spend last few month looking at table and light and diet etc...
I'm lucky enuff to be able to house in them garden for summer ( warm months )
where I plan to section them off a area 6 ft X 3 ft on the grass with 2 ft x 1ft shaded gravel area with a slate for food and hide at other end and tubes ,rocks ,and stuff to climb.
also i have little greenhouse to grow weeds/greens and flower for food
for colder times and nights plan to build tort table 4 ft x 2ft and 8inchs basking end and 21 inch hide end with a uv 5.0 18 inch tube to run just over half the table and 50w basking lamp at one end and hide at other.
I plan to you coir and bark as substrate about 2 inchs at basking and 3-4 inchs hide end
now questions :
Can I feed weeds and deforest for the colder month ( just an idea )
still not to sure about the hibernation process if any can help
and mean one can anyone recommend and breeder in Devon
many thanks John5hud
