We also just got (2) new baby Leopard Torts, how do they get around in the coir and sand? Ours looked like they were swimming in it. We are thinking of adding 2 inch rocks in the mix (ours is all Eco Earth). We had last minute concerns with the top soil we were going to mix with in. So, back to researching what to use.

He gets around just fine. I put the sand in first then the choir and just put my hand in and tossed it a few times, almost like mixing meatloaf...lol. If it is to soft, maybe try a layer of timothy hay on top, they can nibble on it and hide in it...but I am a newbie too, so see if other people post!

If they are getting natural sunlight, you won't need to use the d3. Watch the sand sometimes they can eat it and get impacted, last thing are any of the bulbs coil ones? Sounds like you are getting all your bases covered!! Good job!!

Most of the sand is covered with a layer of choir, and no! the uvb is a tube and heat is just bulb. But I still can not get my humidity where I want it? It keeps dropping to below 40, I am misting 2 times a day with hot water. Any suggestions?
BTW THANX
