Lighting for Hermann tortoises
Posted: 25/08/2014 by Rach_

I am pretty clueless with lighting and heating for Hermann tortoises and am unsure if all ages need it? I am looking to rehome Hermann tortoises over the age of around 20 years, therefore do they still need lighting and heating at this age?

All the help would be much appreciated.

Hello,


This is not a suitable time for a novice to take on torts of that age.

You need to read up & study the subject widely. There is a wealth of information on this site. The best place to start is by clicking on the Box titled "The Tortoise/ Incl….." 

You will find it very rewarding in the long term, but you have to get the environment right.

Good luck,
Tom
