Are you asking why does he sleep at that spot? If so, because he likes it. He feels covered and safe there.

Hi Mario: Your tortoise space looks pretty barren. Is it possible for you to add a few plants and sight barriers? Tortoises hardly ever live in wide open spaces like that. They need lots of cover and sight barriers. I think once you add some plants he'll come out and wander around the enclosure more.

Well, since you won't tell us where you are, that is going to be difficult.

I have spider plants and pothos in my enclosures. Boston fern, prayer plants, and any kind of bromeliad are also safe.

But if you buy plants at a store, you cannot put them right in because the growers use chemicals on them. The chemicals go into the leaves so they are unsafe for the tort to eat.

It's best if you start from seeds, or find a family member or friend with one that doesn't use bug or weed killer, or spray on fertilizer. Take cuttings from their plants.

If you buy a plant from a store, take it out of its pot and rinse all the dirt off the roots. Then repot it in clean new soil without additives in it. Then wait a year. Only then will it be safe.
