So it should cover the base and walls till the substrate height or a little bit higher
UVB and heat
- Thread starter abdo
- Start date
It should be like this and the door should be like a normal double door and not a sliding door and instead of glass I want to use clear acrylic
The height should be at least 80cm and going to add a thing that will help me attach the UVB light in 10cm under the ceiling to get a height of around 52-57 cm over the SUBSTRATE so it should be 47-52 over the tortoise shell
Just guessed that the tortoise shell is going to be 5cm in height

That is a very big improvement over what you were talking about yesterday. The acrylic and Plexiglass are good ideas. They should allow some light in and be less breakable than glass.
What do you think now about the top that i have sent in the previous post?
Clear acrylic
@Alex and the Redfoot Can i make the UVB light in an angle like this?
And can a double face tape keep the UVB light in place

Should i get the repticalcium or the multivitamin that has calcium?

It depends upon what you are feeding. I only use the ReptiCalcium because I make sure she has lots of greens and various other fruits and veggies and proteins. If I was concerned that her diet was becoming limited, then I'd add the vitamins.

I’d type in ‘ZooMed Repti-Calcium with D3’ and go with that one, Alex has said on another thread;
amount of D3 is 10 times lower than in Rep-Cal so risks of overdose are low
Also, you can get a cuttlefish bone (sold for the birds and they are cheap) and put it in the enclosure, so tortoise can get additional calcium if it wants to.

Ill let Alex answer the angle part but I wouldn’t rely on a tape to hold things up no, the moisture in there could cause it to become loose, I’d use the screw in fittings
Here’s what i plan to feed
1. Romaine Lettuce
2. Cabbage (in small amounts)
3. Parsley (in moderation)
4. Coriander (in moderation)
5. Carrots (grated or sliced)
6. Cucumber
7. Zucchini
8. Bell Peppers
Till now i only have the UVB light and didn’t order anything else so you can tell me anything that i can 3d print
A hideout for example

Yes be very limited with the parsley and coriander, I wouldn’t feed bell peppers though, too high in sugar. Not much carrot or cucumber either, zucchini should just be a treat. Check out that diet link in my housing thread! It’s soooo useful! There’s so many suggestions in the different categories, leafy greens and safe weeds are the way for these guys!
