| Humidity: |
Humidity levels should be maintained between 60%
and 70% for the Flat-Tailed Tortoise. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |

Tortoise will need at least 12 hours of UVB light
per day. |
| |
|
| Size: |
An enclosure that is at least 2 feet by 3 feet
will be needed for this species. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Using a substrate such as cyprus mulch and misting
it daily will help you to keep the humidity level
as high as these tortoises require. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
The Flat-Tailed Tortoise has one of the greater
tolerances for temperature ranges when it comes
to tortoises. A temperature gradient should be provideed
for them that ranges from 80 degrees F to 90 degrees
F. |
