Got our 1yr old Hermann!

Their vivarium has been adjusted so many times because they LOVE climbing (one of the few things we didn’t think we’d have to stress about aha).

We’re trying them on a variety of foods just now and trying to perfect the lighting/heating/humidity to keep them happy and healthy!
So far they’ve had lambs lettuce, pansy flowers, thyme and plantain leaf. Also have some Komodo pellets as that’s what they had before but trying to minimise them for times when it’s hard to get fresh.
They have a T5 UVB light on full for 4hrs a day and gradually dims in evening to be off for night.
Waiting for some ambient lighting to arrive.
A basking bulb on for 12hrs at 93-95F.
Humidity 60-70%.
Coco coir substrate & plenty of hides.

Appreciate all the advice and support here because it’s such a minefield with all the info and we really want to do the best for them.

(and yes, that is blocks for a baby’s nursery ahah)

Welcome to the forum. Do you only have 1 tortoise?
