I am no expert, but I think I see leg spurs too ZERO.

I have successfully used a grow tent indoors for a pair of redfoot tortoises. Check out the tents from AC Infinity. The tent quality is very good and their tech support is wonderful. This is the one I have and I have zero problems keeping temperature and humidity at appropriate levels. I...

By way of follow-up, I went with the quad bulb T5 HO fixture (Agrobrite), replacing two of the standard bulbs with Arcadia 14%. This works very well for my setup. Using a solarmeter to adjust, it turns out I can leave the fixture almost at the very top of my tall enclosure and still get a .8...
