first tortoise

[Reptileguy1741]

I'm excited to say Wednesday I will be recieving my first tortoise! I'm getting a hatchling sulcata. I am aware that they get big and can't wait. Also wanted to thank Tom for the care sheet he wrote that was defiantly one of if not the best care sheet I read about them. I'm new to this part of the forum but not the forum its self. I own two box turtles currently and have been in that section for a while. I'll be keeping my tort in a 40 gallon breeder tank for now I am getting a plexiglass lid for the tank tomorrow to hold humidity and wholes for ventilation and and for wires so I can put lighting on the inside. I'm just using a plain lightbulb for basking and the basking spot gets to about 95 degress farenhiet. I have no uvb because I plan on taking him outside to graze for an hour or two a day. If anybody thinks anything I plan on doing is wrong pleas let me know so I can learn. Thanks
