Is this Normal ?????

Well, they are from an area of India where they live in forested, mountainous terrain. They like it fairly damp and not overly hot. I would say that you could set the tortoises enclosure up like one for a Redfooted Tortoise. They don't bask much if at all, so you may not need a basking light.

If you can find any care info for Elongated and/or Forsten's Tortoises, those would be quite similar. I will see if I can find any care sheets for these three types and if so, I will post links here later tonight or tomorrow.

Ok thank you so much

My grow tent that they posted was super cheap and relatively easy to do. Its also a 6ft x 3ft and the tent itself cost me $90. It comes with bars to hang lights from too. Usually 2 extra bars. Only took me about an hour to hour and a half to get it all up and running, and most of that is because I have OCD about some of the steps lol

I am not sure if you saw the link below in my post #20 because I added it a few minutes after the initial post.

Here is one link from the Tortoise Trust which is pretty accurate: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/care/celongata.html
