Hey all. I just got a new baby leopard tortoise yesterday. This site has been a wealth of knowledge and I’m so grateful I found it. I have learned so much from this site!
I just want to make sure I have the basics down. I have her in a 40 gallon tank right now. I know I’m suppose to use coco coair, Cypress mulch, or orchid bark. I can’t really find any of this in Phoenix, so is that repti-bark okay to use. Or can I do a combination of the repti-bark and cypress mulch.
I order a ceramic heat emitter. I know she needs the 4 different temperatures in the tank. I know the humidity in the tank needs to be at 80%. I know she needs to have a dark hut to go into.
Any other basics I need to know? Is the tank I have her in big enough?
Thanks all! I’m excited to be part of this group!
