About this deal

The Tortoise Table Starter Kit includes everything you need to look after your tortoise, including: Tortoise table, combined heat and UV light, clamp lamp fitting, food and water dishes, Komodo complete diet, calcium and vitamin supplement, thermometer, bedding and small heat mat. Dried flower mix to be given as an added treat and supplement. The variety of natural ingredients will help encourage foraging behavior such as turtles will do in the wild. As most tortoises are herbivores a range of natural growing fresh weeds will form the main part of their diet. Please note that if you use an under bed storage box that has transparent sides the tortoise might constantly try to get through this as, like the transparency of glass, it doesn't understand the concept of opaque plastic. As it may cause undue stress to the tortoise, it is better to cover the outer sides with material which isn't see through. Some keepers keep it simple and use parcel tape to line the sides.

These lamps provide artificial sunlight essential for proper growth. Natural or artificial sunlight helps keep the bones and shell strong and helps the body absorb calcium. An ordinary household 60w or a 100w spotlight can be used for the light and heat. The spotlight can be suspended from above using an ordinary light fitting or if the lamp chosen is 60w it can be located into a bendy desk lamp.
