Flowers

[Gopherus]

So , I have an enclosure with 3 Texan tortoises , the substrate is dirt and my sister dumped flowers on the enclosure so it looks like this (Pic) is It ok for me to leave the flowers ( all tortoise approved flowers ) scattered on the substrate?

Yes, that's fine.

Are you sure all the babies are the same species? I'd like to see a better picture of that dark one.

Yes , they are from the same species but for some reason she or he ( too early to tell) was born like that.

Your substrate looks damp, and it should be, but the dampness might cause those flower bits to mold over time. If they haven't cleaned it up in a day or two, I'd remove the top layer before it molds or fungus starts growing.

Here is some care info for your species. Care is almost the same as it is for Russians, but I'd go a little more damp and humid for Texans.

Might I inquire the source of the flowers.

I believe Texas tortoises are illegal to own?

What kind of flowers did your sister “dump” in? Looks more like a dried potpourri mixture as opposed to fresh?

• Potpourri /ˌpoʊpʊˈriː/ is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant materials, used to provide a gentle natural scent, commonly in residential settings. It is often placed in a decorative bowl.
