How do i look after a hemans tortoise?

Answer 1

Do you mean Herman's tortoise?

And when you say 'look after' do you just need to know diet and that kind of stuff? I mean, you don't need to set up an enclosure for them right?

Anyways, here's the basics...

Food: This species is an herbivore (plant eater). Likes dark greens (collard, mustard, turnip, dandelions). Feed beets, spinach, cabbage, and/or kale in small amounts. Supplement leafy diet with (squash, sprouts, and zucchini). 10-15% of diet may include fruits (papayas, mangos, figs).

Water: Provide a large shallow bowl for drinking and soaking.

Humidity/ temperature: Low to moderate levels of humidity. Day temperature should be gradient from 78 to 90 degrees F. Maintain night temperature range between 70-75 degrees F. Use reptile heating pads under tank for 24-hour heat.

: ) Happy trails.
