Hi all, new member here. I recently got a herman tortoise at an expo. About 3 days ago. He's super active and i love him so much already
I've been reading the posts for about a week. Now I have all the basics. My temp gun will be here on Thursday but other wise I have the basics that were recommended on the care guides on this forum. I have a few questions on the enclosure that I'm having trouble finding the info on tho and any help would be appreciated
I saw for babies people are using a small tub and covering in foil to keep in the humidity and temps. How long should the baby be in there.
I have mine in a 10 gallon right now. I can accommodate up to a 4*2*2 currently and in a month when I move I can give him a whole room if needed. Not sure when he needs to be sized up and what's a good size for him currently . His shell is about 1 inch floor to top of shell when he's flat and just shell length going but to head is just under 2 inches. He looked smaller at the expo and I thought he was a hatchling but I feel like he needs more than this 10 gallon. Not sure if I should move him to a 20 gallon or a table. But I don't think he's ready for an open table pretty sure he still needs the high humidity. Any ideas or advice on it would be super helpful
