What is my table lacking of?

[skmackley2]

I got:

Dry Wooden Habba Hut
Little Pebbles
Food Dish (I bathe him for water)
All-in-one Mercury Vapour Bulb
Temperature and Humidity Readers
Topsoil and Calcium Mix Substrate
Cuttlefish Bones
Couple of Slates
1 Horsefield Tortoise



What else do I need in or for it?

e.g. Plants

You should have a water dish available at all times.

Also make sure the pebbles aren't to small to eat

I would have plants in there and agree with 24/7 water.
Nice setup!

They're not that small!

People say you shouldn't have a water dish for a hatchling

It is hard to tell from the pictures how big they are. Also, people say a lot of things, doesnt mean they are always accurate.

Get a terra cotta saucer as a water dish

I would either put in some artificial plants or some real ones. Or a big rock...just a couple of somethings to break up the line of sight.

And a water dish is just fine.

I'm putting in some real spider plants, they will dangle in so it doesn't eat the whole plant in a week, I agree, he can see the line of sight and goes crazy when he sees it, I'm thinking of cutting an extra door in the house and put it in middle to make 2 little enclosures 2 different terrains, a hot end and a cold end and both will have 2 different substrates and the middle will be a mix so any tips on making the new 2 terrains cold end will have feed but I am going to move it around the 2 pens so it makes him search for his food like he did at his original home,


Any advice will be grateful!

You need a uv bulb

You do want a water dish for hatchlings at all times. What you need to be careful of is drowning or flipping. Get a small one that they can easily step into, drink and easily get out of.
My hatchlings are always soaking and I am constantly changing their water. They love it.

Okay thanks! Will do! Is that exo terra one a good choice?
