Ok well I have some desert tortoises and i just wanted to know where you guys keep your tortoises, and what you feed them, and what kind substrate you use, and pretty much the basics.

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!
In my opinion, tortoises belong outside. And so, all my tortoises are outside in pens especially set up to house the different types of tortoise I keep. Even my babies are outside. The only time I have an indoor habitat is when I have brand new babies right out of the incubator. In that case, I use a MVB (mercury vapor bulb) with cypress mulch as the substrate, or orchid bark. I grow different types of lettuces, turnips (for the greens), weeds, hollyhocks, grapes (for the leaves) and mullberry.
May we know appx. where in the world you are?
