Hello,
I see many lovely pictures people share of their enclosures, and am intending to redecorate my Hermann’s one soon. I just have two queries -
One; how are people able to keep certain areas within the enclosure looking a particular way? (almost like mini biomes; separate section where there's stone, plants etc). My tortoise usually destroys any semblance of sections by walking all about through them and moving bits and bobs everywhere. I'm not entirely sure how to achieve this, but would really like to so she has more to do/explore in there.
Two;
How can one prevent mould from forming within the enclosure? I've wondered at how people are able to grow plants inside their tortoise tables and enclosures - how would this be achieved without damaging the wood or causing it to rot? Similarly, how can one keep coir and grass substrates moist without mould forming on them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
