    Greenhouse

    I have a portable green house in my backyard and was thinking about moving my tortoise into it because I have had troubles keeping his enclosure humid in the past. If he was kept in a greenhouse would I still need a UVB bulb?

    Is my tortoise health ?

    I don't know much about star torts but he looks good to me. Looks healthy and is eating. I wouldn't be worried, but yet again I am the farthest thing from a star tort expert.

    Tortoise swallowed piece of sponge. Help!?!

    I wouldn't worry yet, but keep a close eye on him and see if he is acting any different. I don't know about any chemicals on sweiffers besides the pads at the bottom, not the sponge. Just monitor him and if he acts up then I would take him to the vet.

    Two in one enclosure

    I have heard there are exceptions by species, aren't red foots usually good in small groups? I know that in the wild red foots do tend to be with other red foots.

    Managing heat and humidity

    Yeah that's what I thought. What I'm really concerned about is if the uv rays will go through the lid... Anyone know if uv rays can penetrate through thick plastic?

    Managing heat and humidity

    Sorry to bother anyone but I have one last quick question. Does the uv bulb need to be inside the inclosure or sit on top?
