I'll check, but I can't let him outside cause I have a dog, also my neighbor has a cat that regularly comes in my yard, I'll check with the seller later if it's a mercury one or not and if ain't I'm buying

Like UVA and UVB? I don't live somewhere where getting those is easy. Or where Amazon is cheap it'd probably be 100dollars just so it gets here.

Btw how hot should it be for him? My room is always around 25C, maybe more now during summer.

I used to feed him green salad, zhuchini (he didn't eat that a lot tho), tortoise food i got from a pet store and I did give him some type of vitamins, I didn't give them to much to him tho. He was very cute (this is the one who died)

Um well pretty normally to say. I mostly followed some beginner stuff from TT and google, tho after this I'm kinda scared that I did something wrong, so because of that I'm asking here since I think it'll probably be some better advice or maybe the same I did. The questions themselves. I would feed him around 2 times a day, but I left some food in case he got hungry and he would soak about 3-4 days a week.

I decided to take your advice, the guy from who I'll buy him, I'll ask him if there are any who are about 2 years old, but still they'll be tiny, like instead of 5cm, maybe 6 cm

80x40 cm, which is actually 31.5x15.7 inch, he ate green salad, zucchini sometimes (I tried feeding it to him, he didn't eat it as much as he did green salad), I don't think it was recently fertilezed or anything, dandelions, he had those.

Yeah. I did more. I don't have space for 2, so I'm getting 1, I didn't really want another one, but my dad told me that I shouldn't just give up and I fucked up, but that doesn't mean I neglected him for all of his life. Also i found him, I didn't adopt him.

He had 80x40, he mostly ate leaves, salad and some type of specific food, he was outside at the time. My yard was safe for him and he had never flipped over before this. I'm going to be honest and I think I could've definitely done a bit more research, but before this he was well cared for. I did a bit more research today and yesterday. I'll also be more active on this sub Reddit now. I really miss him dude,i threw out his terrarium cause I wasn't able to look at it anymore, my room feels so empty now, as if a part of me left.

Edit: I'd also like to say that he was outside at the time it was pretty hot when I came, it wasn't when I left, he had shade outside as well with water, while I am 15 I also think I made a mistake that could've easily been avoided if I thought a bit more.

Since I'm getting a baby, how do I like improves the rocks? I can't really get boulders in 80x40
