Hi -
If anyone could post a list of recommended equipment for keeping a large leopard tortoise in TN, that would be greatly appreciated.
Our guy has been enjoying his large CA yard for many years. He has a hut with a nighttime warming light (I don't turn it on during warm nights) and a heavy duty heat pad (only for rare winter chills). Rain is so rare here, and when it does rain it's usually light rain and pretty warm out, and he goes out grazing in it.
I know once we get to TN we'll need to set up new fencing and put his hut in a good spot. There will be a great deal more rain than we're used to, and for the cold months we'll need more lamps I'm sure. Just want to make sure we don't miss anything crucial.
Thanks!
