New baby leopard tortoise onwer

[babySpartacus]

Hi All!! I just joined this forum. I have a baby leopard tortoise "Spartacus" he is a few days short of a month old. He will be housed in doors. Having a hard time finding GRASS! since I live in an apartment, where can I purchase and what types ? for now I am feeding him spring mix salad.

Also temperature, I keep him in a tank at about 85 degrees doesnt seem to get any warmer than that I am using a 75 volt bulb, i think I need a stronger one to reach about 90 degrees??

Any tips and information on baby leopards is greatly appreciated!!

Liz

Welcome! I second Barbs links, they are great. Also, I'm surprised no one has asked, but could you post pics? We love to see new torts
