Went with a hatchling Red-Foot. Here is a list of what we have.
**I need his/her 1st nursery container. What size can I get away with, for now?**
We live on 10 acres in Washington and plan to let him have a large area outside once old enough.
Anything else I should pick up? The little guy gets here Tuesday.

Light/heat:
Zoo Med Repti Sun 13 watt UVB
OMAYKEY 100W Ceramic Heat Lamp

To hold those:
OMAYKEY Reptile Lamp Fixture Holder Clamp

Substrate:

Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber
Zoo Med Forest Floor Cypress Mulch Bedding
Exo Terra Plantation Soil
Exo Terra Forest Plume Moss

Decor:

Small 5 1/2" hide

2 plastic plants
small terra cotta pot

We don't recommend these.



OMAYKEY ceramic heat lamp:

This is fine for night time heat.


this is the only picture I could find of the OMAYKEY reptile lamp fixture:

this is not good. YOu should get one with a ceramic base (where the light bulb screws in should be white, not black plastic.


The gauges:

These really don't work all that well.



All the rest of that stuff would be ok, but why do you need so many different kinds of substrate? And some tortoises eat the moss, I wouldn't use it.


Like Jamie said, can we see a picture of your set up?
