Hi Nick! I have 2 leopard tortoises now and I really like them. You should be able to keep a hatchling in the 30 gallon breeder for quite a while. I would recommmend an Active UV Heat bulb (www.uvheat.com)for both light and heat. Definitely stay away from heat rocks. They don't distribute heat well and I've seen animals get problems from being too cool as well as some nasty burns. I don't think they should be used for any animal. Good luck!
