The Master Chief has arrived

Hey guys, glad to find this awesome place. Master Chief is a 6 months old Hermann's tortoise and I have been learning quite a bit about their care since I've had him. Like everyone one here I hope to exchange ideas and learn a few tips about tortoise keeping.
Here is the most recent picture of my indoor enclosure. 3' x 5' with Cypress mulch and coconut fiber substrate.
This is the bulb that I'm currently using, it's usually about 91-93 degrees farenheit directly underneath
I did a little bit of research before bringing him home but it was definitely a learn-as-you-go type of experience for me. With the help of this forum I hope to be enlightened by the divine wisdom and someday become a level 9000 Tortoise Whisperer.

Welcome to the forum, @Chief213 .

Chief is simply adorable! God bless.

Welcome, pleas read all your info from this forum. Most info out on the internet is wrong and outdated.

Welcome! Love the name.

Hail to the Chief!

Yes, thank you. I've been reading through and making some adjustments to my tortoise keeping repertoire

Hello and welcome.

I'm not a fan of the MVB bulbs as they make the tortoises pyramid. I'd switch to a lower wattage basking flood bulb and a HO florescent tube for UV.

The thing that really needs to change ASAP is those ramped bowls. They are a flipping/drowning hazard and many tortoises die in them. Replace them with terra cotta saucers sunk into the substrate ASAP.
