hello new to keeping tortoises I decided to get a tortoise after I went to school on my first day and my teacher had a red-footed tortoise and I loved it so I would like to get a tortoise for this reason. I keep fish and I have lots of empty tanks (can buy lids with holes in them to make it more breathable ) I could convert to a tortoise aquarium. ( i have read that you aren't supposed to let tortoises see outside there tanks if this is true I can block off the glass/acrylic) I am interested in the Russian tortoise because its cheaper and I like the look I know that you need a heat lamp (just in case i dont my house temps are 76ish-74ish in the day and 72ish at night). (would be open to recommendations for heat lamp types) also, need to know what to feed.
