ok 30 for a hot end is good.
but the night temp would be better if it was a little lower. I'm afraid I can't help you but better people will be along tomorrow.

Ok well ALL his food should be dusted with calcium powder (limestone powder) and nutrobal everyday.
A 'calcium kit' can be bought from here.... SW Calcium kit, cuttlefish nutrobal limestone TORTOISE on eBay, also, Reptiles, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (end time 19-Jan-08 17:41:07 GMT) It also contains cutlefish that your tort can nibble on to regulate its own calcium intake and to trim the beak
