 Tortoise heat and light
by: Shelly

Your tortoise needs about 12 hours of sunlight each day. It might not need all the heat, but it does need the light. If you can't provide that much, you need to provide a UVB light in the house. If you don't, your tortoise will become very ill because it cannot metabolize calcium without UVB rays. No calcium, no shell; no shell, no tortoise.

Keep it slow and steady.
