Hello. We are waiting on our Hermann Tortoise and need help with specific things we need. I know what I need but I don’t know specific brands or types. Ex. I know I need a basking light but wattage should I start with for a hatchling? I need a specific brand and details so I can purchase the correct one. Do I increase as he gets older? If so, how much do I increase? Same question for UVB. While I hope to make an outdoor enclosure and give my guy plenty of outdoor time, I still want a UVB light indoors. Do I get 24” UVB light? Is that enough?
What kind of bedding is best? Coco coir and top soil mixed, maybe? Or has anyone found a mixture that’s better for Hermanns?
Last question- I’ve seen a few websites that sell dried weeds? Are those any good? I live in the dessert so weeds may not be plentiful there.
Is there one website you’d recommend to purchase everything?
Thanks in advance ☺️
