Hi, I am making a new tortoise enclosure for red-footed tortoises that I will be getting soon. It will be 520 cm long, 210 cm wide, and 150 cm high. I live in Ireland, so it will be in an insulated shed. I am getting 3 females and 1 male. Could you recommend whether mercury vapour lights or full spectrum fluorescent lamps would be better for this setup? If full spectrum fluorescent lamps are recommended, what other lights do I need to get for heat? Also, any advice on substrate types, humidity levels, and general maintenance tips would be greatly appreciated!
