He doesn't get everything in his diet all the time. Just the dark leafy greens daily. As far as the substrate and heat go I do spray it down along with him at least once a day. And he has 2 areas that have heat. The red lamp I will be switching out for the heat emitter tomorrow.
Thank you all...
I should also say that there are many different types of advice on what to feed Russian Torts so I have done my homework. But the best advice always comes from you guys. Albus also has a ball that he plays with when he is in a playful mood. He will roll it around his enclosure. I did post for...
I can not find endive and escarole anywhere. Trust me I have looked. Today I got him snow peas, parsley, beet top greens, squash, leeks, collard greens, kale, sweet potato, and a mini cucumber. I also got him some blackberries to try as a treat.
This is what I have so far for my Russian Tort. It is 4'x6' but I can not think of how to get it stay the right humidity and temp all the time day and night. Any suggestions is appreciated.
He eats grass and dandelions. Just not hay. I have to plant them but I bought the komodo dandelion and grass seed kits for his enclosure. I might get a couple more of each so I can get more coverage. Just wondering if the every day greens is healthy?

He also eats twice a day. I give him a handful of his green and veggie mix for breakfast and dinner and...
Like I said I never said it was a permanent enclosure. But it was recommended for the time being. I will take him outside as much as possible weather permitting.
I did read what was shared. I also read something else By someone name Tom: Thread 'The Best Way To Raise Any Temperate Species Of...
Mine doesn't mine the enclosure. I also didn't say I was keeping him in that enclosure permanently. I do not want mine outside all the time and he shouldn't need to be outside all the time. As long as he is happy and healthy that is what I am going for.
I posted for humidity and substrate...
Good Evening. I recently purchased a Russian Tort who we named Albus Dumbledore (huge Harry Potter Fans Here). We had a sulcata a few years ago that passed due to health issues. I am new to Russians though. I got a really long and wide Zilla Terrarium, hide out, food, water/soak bowls, cork...
I recently got a Russian and at first I got repti bark but found he ate it, so I was doing some research and did forest floor on the very bottom then did a mixture of sand and eco earth over that. I have not researched anywhere that his indoor enclosure needs to have humidity. Am I doing...
