Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have just got a baby western Herman tortoise who is around 8 month old. I only got him 2 days ago but being a first time buyer I'm already worried. As I've never had a tortoise as a pet before I don't know what the norm is. I've done a lot of research but everything i read seems to be different. He is kept in a 4x2 vivarium wood all around and glass front. The man in the shop advised me to have his heat light at 32 during the day and 22 on a night but other people I know turn their heat light off on a night. I'm worried incase I do this he will go into hibernation and I don't want that. Also, he stays in the same spot quite a lot, is this normal? Advice and comments would be appreciated.
