Hello!
Fiance and I live in southwest PA. We're in the planning stages for bringing home a baby red foot tortoise at the end of the month (Oaks reptile show-any positive reviews on breeders there?), and I'm mostly on this site to snoop around for advice. Can I get critique on my shopping list?
We're planning on setting up an indoor bin habitat (out of this container):
Zoo Med Powersun 100watt MVB / deep dome lamp fixture / reptile lamp stand
Mazuri tortoise diet (safe for babies? how often to feed?)
Zoo Med brand cypress mulch (Forest Floor) and sphagnum moss
Terra cotta saucer (food dish)
A soaking bowl/bath (like this?)
Misc plants - should I keep plants potted if I'm using mulch/moss for substrate? Will the tortoise knock them over easy?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
