Setting up my first tort table
 

Hi all will be picking up my 2 horsfields on Saturday and I am just starting to set their table up and I've got a couple of questions.
1. I will be using coir what depth should I be aiming for
2. At what height is best for me to set my uv light ( arcadia 36" 30w desert 10%+ lamp)
Many Thanks
Dave

How old will they be?
They need enough depth to dig down into and be totally covered.

They will be approximately 6 months old. I am sure Gordon will correct me if I am wrong as I will meeting him on Saturday to collect them from him

My middle 2 are off Gordon too :-)
I'd say 4-5 inches of substrate will be enough x

Horsfields are serious diggers, so make the substrate nice and deep, at least 4 inches for 6month babies.

Have a list of questions ready to ask Gordon.

I hope not too many apart from maybe a divider I think you pretty much have it covered:-)

Why not Gordon ? You're the best exotic tortoise keeper on here ( I had to say it, sorry )

Thank you Suze but there are people who have a lot more experience than me

Did you miss the punn, although you are a most excellent tortoise keeper and guru ( big smile )
