Hi Nicky,
Your set-up looks great . Just a few questions, Do you know the temperature under your heat lamp? It looks a little high above the substrate. Do you have a UVB light for your set-up?

Dan

That's a great bulb I'd lower it till you get a temperature of 32C under the light.

Welcome to the site. A lovely little tort and enclousure you have there. Have you considered adding a few stones etc to give the tort something to do

Hello great enclosure you have there. Nice to see a new owner using a tortoise table instead of the death traps that are vivariums. Well done!
