Hi everyone!
I'm planning on getting a Ibera Greek tortoise hatchling soon, but suddenly I'm having doubts if I can provide a good life for it. I prepared the following:
Do I still need to create a closed chamber, with humidity levels being consistently high? Will the tort be able to adapt? Am I stressing too much? Sorry, but I really want to be fair to the tortoise.
Thank you![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm planning on getting a Ibera Greek tortoise hatchling soon, but suddenly I'm having doubts if I can provide a good life for it. I prepared the following:
- I started a small garden to provide for its food. Gardening is surprisingly fun lol.
- I prepared a 65L container, with a 6-inch deep substrate mix of 35:15:50 potting mix, sand, and top soil.
- 13W 10.0 UVB and a 50W basking light shining down on one side of the container.
- Thermo/Hygrometer.
- Cuttlebone, terracotta pots and saucers, flat stones, and maybe some fake plants for cover.
Do I still need to create a closed chamber, with humidity levels being consistently high? Will the tort be able to adapt? Am I stressing too much? Sorry, but I really want to be fair to the tortoise.
Thank you
