It is a 75 gal. tank, with a screen top. On one side I have a heat emitter, and on the other side is a long tube UVB light. Sometimes he stays on the hot side in his hide, and sometimes on the cool side under a plant. CherryHead's need humidity, so this works for me. He is my first tortoise.

I dont think so, she doesn't miss a beat!
She would surprise you if you met her! She really is well above her maturity age when it comes to a lot of things, so I doubt she would get bored of it. She knows how long they can live for and what they do.
