We are often asked for a list of supplies someone would need to keep a tortoise. We decided to finally put together this page which would give a basic outline of what is needed, generally speaking, to keep a tortoise as far as supplies goes. This particular kit is one that we have put together to get someone going on keeping a young (baby or juvenile) forest or "jungle" type tortoise. Species that would work well with this setup include: redfoots, yellowfoots, elongateds, cherryheads, Burmese mountain tortoises, aldabras, and other foresty-type tortoises. This kit should ideally be ordered about a week prior to your tortoise to give you time to set it up properly prior to the tortoise getting to you. 

The basic package includes the following: 

ZooMed Mini Combo Deep Dome Light Fixture
ZooMed Small Lamp Stand (suspends light above cage)
ZooMed Heat & UVB Light Combo Pack
Small Heat Pad (ZooMed or ExoTerra Brand)
Repashy SuperVeggie Supplement
ZooMed Fruit Mix-Ins
ZooMed Forest Tortoise Food
2 pounds Mazuri Tortoise Diet
Brick of Coco Coir
Small Bag Cypress Mulch Bedding
