Care tips
- Use a 120 x 60 cm tortoise table minimum; bigger and outdoors is better
- Bask at 32-35°C over a 21-24°C ambient range with 10-12% UVB
- Feed weeds and leafy greens — skip fruit and wet supermarket lettuce
- Offer deep, dry substrate; they burrow and are expert escape climbers
- Soak juveniles weekly and plan for 40+ years
