Keeping tortoises properly
Outdoors, with sun and space.
Ideally outdoors
In summer, European tortoises live best in a secure outdoor enclosure with sun, shade, plants and a hiding place.
Heat and light
Indoors they need a heat lamp and special UV light. Without UV the shell can't grow properly.
A long life
Tortoises can live a very long time, often more than 50 years. Plan carefully before one moves in.
