I'm hopefully getting either a Hermann or a Russian and I want to make a nice enclosure for her. But I'm 15 so I don't have enough money to buy the tortoise and a big awesome enclosure. So whats an easy way to build one that wont cost too much. Including substrates, plants heating lamps, and the actual enclosure. Also, try to add prices too. I have lots of questions too:
How do I plant Dandelions for her (during the winter)?
How many heat lamps do I need and what are their purposes?
Which breed (Hermann/Russian) is more "playful" or less shy?
What are the best online breeders to get from(not wild, I hear they get diseases and are less happy)?
How long should she live?
I don't want her to hibernate, will she if I don't "simulate" her?
Anything else you think I should know...I want to be as prepared as possible for my new baby <3
P.S. I WILL make her a better enclosure once I get enough money, any blueprints or something I can use to build it? My step dad might make me something good if I have blueprints!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
