Awesome idea with the mulch and the top soil. I use that stuff all the time and didnt know I could use it for my torti. Way cheaper than pet shop bedding. The plastic bin is awesome too, very spacious which is nice.

If you put the half roof to the top of the box, you can increase the humidity, which is important for the development of the tortoise shell! :) On the left side the roof, the right side the lights!

do not use a tank, tortoises don’t understand the concept of glass and will get stressed because they cannot walk through the glass. a concrete mixing tub is good for the first year, depends on the dimensions of your tortoise. also a mixture of eco earth and mulch works as it can retain moisture.

Please, please, block off any clear/ see through spots. Sometimes they try to walk through it and if it’s glass they can hurt themselves; scratch, break, or cut themselves on the tank. They are also a lil… dumb. They won’t learn and will continue to walk into the clear wall. You’ll be hearing the lil guy/gal bump into the enclosure all day.

Because tortoises can be confused when they see through transparent materials. They'll think it's clear and try to walk through it only to find out there's an "invisible barrier" keeping him in. This can confuse the tortoise, that's why he mentioned that he'll put a tape to avoid confusion

So what is the point of the UV light? I am interested in owning a tortoise, and I know they are cold blooded so they need light to get heat. But why can I not only use a regular lightbulb? What is the purpose of the UV light?

@ohkaykaykayla2891 3 жыл бұрын

They can get metabolic bone disease. It needs to mimic the sunlight, a regular light bulb won’t do. UVB Lighting is essential for tortoises to process calcium in captivity. Without UVB lighting tortoises will develop serious health problems such as abnormal shell growth and other deformities. UVB Lighting should be left on for 10-12 hours a day and turned off at night.
