Hi! It's my first time writing on this forum. I got a Hermanns tortoise yesterday and didn't even know I was getting it, so I couldn't prepare properly. This is what I managed to do with things I already had in my house. The tortoise isn't that old yet, it's about 7cm long. How could I improve the enclosure? The white thing is a hideout I built. What can I put in there to make it warmer/better? And just overall how could I improve it? I don't have a basking light/heat lamp/ UVA UVB light (I don't even know the difference), but would it be warm enough with the heater on at night, until I'm able to get a lamp? Could you guys also recommend some good lamps and bulbs that are also affordable? And good Hermann food? I basically need to know everything. The dirt I put is coconut dirt I had for planting flowers. She also isn't eating much. She only ate a couple of bites of cucumber today, and I can't get her to drink water.
