great Danny, I asked for a female!

tortoiseuk · 23-06-2013, 03:08 PM

I think I stopped on tortoises now.. got all the breeds I wanted now.
t.h.h
horsfields
t.h.b
kleinmanni

on the other hand.. would love some t.g.t.. lol
better stop, for now..

Danny with this size would you keep her in a vivarium?
I have all my tortoises on tortoisetabes, but I've read a lot of different opinions on kleinmanni.
I have both a tortoise table (guinea pig cage in this case.. lol) and a vivarium ready for her. Maybe I can get the temperatures more stable on a vivarium. what do you think?

tortoiseuk · 23-06-2013, 03:14 PM

also not sure about the oystershell, so I'll have her in top soil for now, but open for opinions

**egyptiandan64** · 23-06-2013, 03:18 PM

Topsoil is fine

I'd go with a table as T. kleinmanni don't want it to warm other than the hotspot.

tortoiseuk · 23-06-2013, 03:27 PM

really Dan? I'm just afraid I really cant control the temperatures fine.
I'll place her on a 4ftx2ft vivarium for a few days while I test the gradient I get on her table so.
how much you rather I need under the hotspot and on the coolside to be ok on a tort table Danny?

**egyptiandan64** · 23-06-2013, 03:32 PM

Just make sure the table isn't that big

35C under basking light and 24 to 26C cool end. Something 2ft by 1ft right now would be fine.

lol.. Dan, all the cages I have are that big!!
in fact the hermani's are already no where to be found under the spider plants. lol

I'll need to put something between the bars halfway to make sure they dont escape through there, they are so tiny I think they fit through the bars of the cage. lol
