here is a pic of my new greek..finally got the temps good, added a blue zoomed light on the left side..temps now range from 75-95...but inside his hide that I built its around 65-68, I was thinking of buying one of those big log type things from petsmart and add to the other corner where its warmer..is this ok? will he go to either one that he wants to? or will two hides confuse him? and if so is 68 in hide too cool for him? I figured I would give him some choices of warm hide and cold hide..heres the current pick..thanks for all your help...also, Is this a golden greek? thanks for help

I would put the light stand on the outside of the tort table with the "foot" of it tucked under the tort table. Less chance of it falling over that way, and less chance of him getting stuck between the stand and the wall.

Nice job. Lookin' good. He'll be outside during good weather, right?

The stands are screwed down. I had no way to attach on outside. As far as putting him outside, im in nys. Once days get warm I will let him out

Since your tank is rather small, upgrading to a larger enclosure is always the best option for your tortoise. In the meantime, you could add some live plants and decor. Your tort will be more active if his cage is more interesting.
