I’m looking at getting a tortoise. Any keepers out there? Tips or advice? I’ve been planning a while so think I have the basics covered as in what equipment I need. I’m looking at getting an Ibera Spur-thigh tortoise. So far my list includes ~
Deluxe Pro Large Tortoise Table (4ft x 2ft x 8in) with mesh cover
100watt Combination Bulb (this provides heat and UVA/UVB) + 1 spare
200mm/21cm Clamp Lamp
Lighting Bracket
Water & Food Tray
2.5kg Bedding substrate
Cuttlefish Bone/Calcium Powder
Thermometer
Fake desert plants for decoration
Reptile cave for hiding in
Grow your own food kit as below ~
Small shallow bowl for bathing
Insulated hibernation box for the fridge
Anything I’ve missed? Are those combination bulbs any good?
