Thank you for the information. Some great stuff in here. Ill find some time later to read through it again. Looks like I might need to make a few changes.

Wow that was fast. Thank you for the speedy reply. I will have a look. They are in separate tables and I’m building them separate outdoor enclosures at the moment.

Hi all, just a quick question. I have had my Horsefield tortoise for a couple of years now but have recently got a baby Hermann. I have him in a open top table at the moment but have come across a few websites now that say a vivarium would be better. Which one should I choose? Thought I’d ask...

Thanks you so much. I was very worried there.

Thanks for getting back to me. No I’m talking about the brownie green spot on the lower right side of the photo.

Hi All, I is the attached picture something for me to worry about?

Thank you for taking the time and for the information. I will have a look at basking bulbs now.

Hi All, I got some amazing help with my last post so thought I’d ask you guys anoth question. I have just bought the T5 pro kit 24w tube light and I’m now wondering what basking light to use. I have a heat only one at the moment but I’m wondering if that’s all I need or would I be better with...

Thank you so much for all you help. I really appreciate it. So much to learn when it comes to tortoises, but really enjoying it. Thanks again.

I used boiled. I have left it out in the sun all day today.

Hi, just a quick question. I have used the linseed oil as suggested. I was just wondering how long after it dries do I need to leave it before putting my tortoise inside?

Wow!! That setup is amazing. Great job.

Thanks, it’s nice to hear what other people do. I think that sounds like a good way of doing things. I’ll definitely be keeping him in on cold/wet days and bringing him in at night.

Thanks for the reply. I will just put him out there on warm sunny days for now then as he is still very small. Don’t want to do anything to put him at risk. I’m happy that he will be safe from predators. Really appreciate all the help I’m getting here.

Thank you for all the information. He is just over 2 years. Plans at the moment are that he will be outside from June until September. Maybe next year I will feel a bit braver and make it a bit longer.
