I live in southern CO 81240. I am (still) putting together the winter enclosure for my sucata tortoise. 8", was told he/she was 5 years old when I purchased several months back.
Would really appreciate some suggestions, especially on lighting and humidity. Here is what I have, it is in an extra small room. 8'x4'floor space, plywood sides, rubber roof membrane on floor. top soil and bark on the floor.
How deep should that be? I just purchased a 48" t8 uva/uvb light and fixture. I have a che and a 150 watt basking spot. I mist the enclosure in the morning.
I feed soaked mazuri pellets. I feed collard, turnip, mustard and kale. Also free choice grass hay. In the summer he had access to lots of grass and weeds. Which are all dead and gone now.
I want to set this up to best serve thru the winter. By next winter he will have a out building. Of course, heated and all the amenities
Thank you for any help/direction.
