to have an enclosure outdoor. Or a pool-sized enclosure with lots of dirt for
it to burrow and rocks for it to climb.
** Sprinkle Vitamin D3 Calcium on food

are Omnivores, so depending on the breed, most eat Dark Greens and some fruits.
Lighting: 75
to 90° UV / UVB lighting
Night
Lighting: 70 to 75° Infrared Heat Lamp
** NEVER put
tortoises or turtles outside in a glass aquarium. It could heat up like a
greenhouse, and hatchlings can succumb to overheating very easily.
