Here's the deal. I receive a sulcata tortoise Tuesday morning this week from backwater reptiles. I have done my share of research the last few months but I need more knowledge! I've set up a small children's play pool with coconut coir and cypress mulch for a nice soft texture and designed a plastic container as the hide box. I already have the new ballasted mercury vapor bulb purchased to provide UVA and UVB plus heat. How do you keep humidity up?! And also I'm slightly alarmed because I plan on keeping the tort in my basement where temp is in the 60's why is that bad? If I keep the heat lamp on during the day and possibly a heat lamp on at night will the temperature be a big problem? Please offer your advice thank you!
