I am wondering if it is reasonable to allow my Russian tortoise to roam in a hardwood floored hallway with doorways blocked. It is bright and sunny, and quite warm since we are running our furnace. The floor is very clean, no food, crumbs or chemicals. There are no pets and no safety hazards. He's in a terrarium for a couple more months at least, and he loves so much to explore that I feel like this might be a way to give him a ton of space for a few hours a day at least. I give him food and water and at one end I have a door mat over the heat register which gets nice and toasty for him to hang out on.
I have thought the safety of this through from every possible angle, so what I need now is advice on whether roaming on a hard floor is ok for him....I could buy a carpet...
And is being away from his uv bulb for a couple hours a day ok?
Any input is much appreciated.
