Ok I'm off to go on Amazon now to buy all the bits you said and I'll go in the garden and hunt down a plastic plant pot... the breeders had the babies on hemp when I got ( lets just call him/her Mr Handsome for now as it' a 50/50 ) I did order sterilized loam and sand mix ( due for delivery 16th) ordered before I got Mr handsome but since doing extra research realised sand is a no no so I only used the hemp as a tempory resoure.... also his got a mesh top tank! As I was told they need constant fresh air flow but now I'm worried his too cold and humdity is too low should i put a towel over the top? To almost cover the mesh?Your substrate needs to be coco coir, fine grade orchid bark or cypress mulch, not hemp.
Don't line the bottom of it, the tortoise will want to dig in.
Plastic bowls, plant pots, ice cream containers etc. are all good .
