Will this orchid bark do?https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gubler-Orchid-Fine-Grade-4-Quart-Potting-Soil-Mix/3629026

substrate is organic topsoil. Thanks for letting me know not to use an mvb; I won't purchase one. Do you think if I replace the chicken wire with plexiglass that will make it closed chambered and be good?

The dimensions are 4x2 which I know isn't huge but I think is good as I have a 3 month old hermanns. I keep hearing open top is good, so I have like semi open top. Also, for UV, what should i do come winter? I have a uv strip bulb but it's only on one level of the enclosure. I think it'd be cool...

Lots of people are telling me there are problems with it and I'm not sure about it all. A big problem I think comes with the second level and some people are saying that bulb is too close to the floor and stuff like that. It's controlled on a thermostat so it doesn't get too hot, so hopefully...

Hi Carol, How are you? I hope all is well. I heard you breed Russian Tortoises and I'm potentially interested in one. Do you have any available? How old are they? How much do they cost? Thanks Matthew

Thanks. Yeah, I have an indoor UV bulb

The room it will be in, the enclosure will be right next to a window. The average temperature is like 68 to 70 degrees year round

Since I'm getting a Testudo, I'd only need a UVB and something for heat and light, right?

I keep hearing that regular incandescent bulbs work for baking, but there's no way they can produce that much heat, can they?

Thanks. I just always triple check everything. Thanks for confirming for me. :)

So I heart CHEs are hood at night for the winter, but can they just he used in general with a thermostat for Russians? The regular spot bulbs don't work and from what i hear 'reptile basking bulbs' don't last long. I already got a UVB strip so I don't need an all in one. Thanks

I think I have water and feeding dishes. I would have to check though. I still have to check about the hides. I might make something. If not, I'll buy something. Thank you for the other suggestions, though. They were really helpful.

So I updated my supplies list if anyone wants to review it :)

Thank you. That was very helpful. I'll buy the stuff separately
