Hi I'm new to keeping tortoises but a long time keeper of reptiles of all kinds. I also work costumer service in a pet store so I have knowledge of the basic care but I know experience is more valuable then anything from a book if anyone has any advice anything is aprietiated greatly. My baby Leo is kept on paper towels for now to avoid impaction with a spot for sphagnum moss to keep slight humidity. He has a 75 red heat glo and a 10. UVB light as well I feed him mixed greens along with zoo meds grassland food and he always has the option to graze on, or hide under Timothy hay in one corner on the cool side. Little Hubert has quickly made himself a new member of my personal little zoo I seem to be starting. My only concern is he keeps his eyes closed a lot it doesn't seem to be a lighting issue and it may be nothing other then my inexperience and worrying about the little guy. Any advice or experience based knowledge would be great!
