Hey guys, after two weeks my closed chamber is finally finished. I ordered my Red Foot Tortoise from http://www.tortoisesupply.com
The enclosure is 4x2. I have a CHE on a temp controller with a UVA bulb on a timer from 8AM to 8PM. My hide is a plastic pot with a hole cut in the middle, I also have a spider plant that I separated into two pots. I have a food dish and a water bowl. Basking temp is in the mid 90s and the other side of the enclosure is mid/upper 70s. I am debating wether to put cypress mulch on top of the coco fiber I am using incase the coco is too damp which I'm told could cause she'll rot. Uvb strip light is above as seen in the pictures. Let me know what you guys think!
Anyone think it is necessary to add cypress mulch as a top layer above coco coir?
Please add any other advice
