image.jpgimage.jpg50 gallon tote, Scott’s organic top soil included sphagnum peat moss, and soil temps range from 80-95 closed chamber humidity 60-100% 3 hides, food dish I’ll ve adding a water soon or I can just use the food dish for both water and food. Uvb long tube and uvb and uva bulb and a CHE I’ll add some rockets too. How does it look Any Feedback? Anything to add or take away? I will start soaking everyday if possible he/she is about 8 months. I feed spring mix (No Spinich) kale, collards. And doomed tortoise pellets hibiscus. And iceberg I know it’s not nutritious but for water content. Add a couple of grass clippings. How does it look?

The substrate should be soaked, not sprayed.
Thanks for your Feedback, If I soak the Substrate wouldn’t that Make it more messy for example getting stuck in The tortoises scales causing it to be digested when eating or causing irritation? Anything else to Say.

You soak it, mix it up with your hand then pat it down for firmer walking surface.
