ok so im thinking about getting a tortoise... well i have just been flicking through any problems i might have while owning one. Everything seems fine apart from going on holiday? i can get people to feed him but what about his heat lamp? the people cant wait for twelve hours for the heat lamp? my question is can horsefields or hermann's stand without a heatlamp for a week?
