Timmy the Tortoise
 

Our first Tortoise, an 8 month old Hermann!

Timmy's House built by our friend Keith. He's very handy! The bits cost £25 from B&Q and he put it together! So much better than spending £100+ on something similar that isn't as sturdy or bespoke! (Note there is a wire grill lid that goes over the main area too!)

The lamps, bulbs, thermometer, house and feeding tray are all Exo Terra bits bought through Swell UK. They are superb and very knowledgeable when you ring them. Quick and well packed in delivery too.

This is what I bought:

- Exo Terra Glow Light Small (14cm)
- Exo Terra Glow Light Medium (21cm)
- Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 Compact Lamp (26w)
- Exo Terra Sun Glo Tight Beam Lamp 75w
- Exo Terra Calcium + D3 Supplement 90g
- Exo Terra Reptile Cave (Medium)
- ProRep Hemp Bedding 1.5kg
- Exo Terra Medium Feeding Dish
- Exo Terra Reptile Dial Thermometer

Got the lamps on timers too for 12 hours each day and the temperature is about 31 degrees centigrade under the heat lamp.

The Exo Terra stuff is great quality and does the trick. The lamps are very versatile the the strong clamps I've used but they can also be hung too. Wonder if they'll last as long as the Tortoise!
