Betty's Enclosure

[zoogrl]

Thought I'd post pics of her home, she's my first tortoise so I'm still learning. It is a rubbermaind tub (45gal) with a 50/50 mix of sand & repti bark substrate. There is a hide on the warm & cool side, basking rocks, water dish, cuttle bone. On the cool side I am going to put some plants, just waiting on the seed mix to get here. We'll see if it will grow in the substrate, if not I will do pots I can bury in the substrate. She will be getting a bigger place, this is just her starter home

the long white thing, im assuming is cuttle bone? if so, i usually break it. takes up less space and takes a long time for mine to eat anyways

Is that a Desert Tortoise? How cute is that? Nice enclosure and big too.

She's a Russian tortoise, I will break the cuttle bone. Thanks! She had her first taste of hibiscus flower today, LOVES it!
