Hello forum! Ok so I am a new to the the tortoise world. I did my research, but there are so many sites that say so many different things, at this point I am lost.
The guy I took her (Lucy) from said she was approximately 4 months old. Lucy is approx. 3 inches long.
I have her in a 40 gallon tank, with half sand and half douglas fir. is this ok?
I was told to keep her enclosure dry as possible, but I think that is a problem when her lil head is shedding. What is best?
I was also told to feed her lettuce only, but read on here, you all feed your tortoise a variety of foods. Is she still too young for a variety?
One more question, for now. Lol
How long should I keep the UVB light on her?
Any help would be wonderful & GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.
