she is in a custom made cage, wooden, solid, but the front is glass that slides, that is kept open about an inch or so and t he top is left off. yes, he has uvb, a heat lamp for day and a heat lamp for nite. i think they are both 100 watts. the size is about 2 feet wide by 4 feet long or so. its also about a foot and a half high. hes only 2 and a half inches long. hes on bone-aid sand. he eats tortoise chow, soaked alfalfa, sometimes lettuce or collards. he has a water dish in his cage so he soaks himself every day, then i give him another soaking twice a week. his temps are around 95 for his hot zone, 85 for the rest. at nite its around 75 or so.

: can you give us some idea of how you are keeping the tortoise, in what type of enclosure, what size, what are your temperatures, what wattage heat lamps, any other heat sources, any UVB? What are you feeding, and what substrate you are using? Also, do you soak regularly or just now that the eyes are getting stuck?
