give daily soaks and provide water to their enclosure, if they want to soak themselves they can. It gets hot and dry just about everywhere, It was 100 here yesterday and mid to upper 90's all week and my outside torts soaked whenever they wanted.
A very warm welcome to the forum from Amman!Can someone please help me identify his/her type. Total noob when it comes to reptiles.
And if anyone can advise me on the diet and required habitat. We have a dog and a cat, i don't trust the cat... something about her eyes... So i would prefer to have a closed enclosure for Pluto "the tortoise, i think, or is he/she a turtle??"
Please see the attached images, I have bought him this home, which is designed for hamsters i believe, the pet shop had great chameleon housings but were very expensive, couldn't find anything better, placed a layer of sand and rocks as seen in the image. I live in Jordan/Middle East.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Interesting. Where in Amman did you find all that?Got stuff!!
I think I found everything to create a decent home for Pluto.
Peatmoss
Organic Soil
UVB Lamp & Bulb
Multi purpose basking lamp & bulb
Humidity Gauge
Temp Gauge
2 Ceramic plates
Moss Mat
Cat grass, parsley, and spinach seeds.
Tree Netting
100lt. container
Couldn't find cypress mulch or repti-bark or pea gravel. Any alternatives to those?
I still need to go get a down-step transformer because the bulbs are north america voltage. But wanted to update you guys on the progress.
Will post images of the ready setup asap. Will welcome any advice as I go.
Not cheap!!! Cup-a-noodles for the rest of the month!

A very warm welcome to the forum from Amman!
I've had Oli (my beloved Greek tort) for 5.5 years or so. GOD only knows how much I looked for tort food in vain. I was told that due to the fact that torts live in the wild, stores do not deal with it. @ZEROPILOT saved Oli and was kind enough to send me mazuri, cuttlefish, calcium powder and so on. THANKS @ZEROPILOT !!
Where did you find the food? if I may ask.
I got the seeds from a shop nearby. We are currently feeding him carrots, cucumbers and lettuce.
Oops! I think you've bought the wrong type of UVB bulb. You can take back the daylight bulb AND the UVB bulb and in exchange get either one of these (you don't need both, just one or the other)
You can keep the daylight heat bulb and add this for UVB:

Or you can return both the daylight and UVB bulbs and get this instead:

The compact fluorescent bulb that you bought might be harmful to his eyes.
