So you get a Tortoise as a gift and then what? Well, that is exactly the predicament dadyargentino was in not too long ago. First thing, research! What do Russian Tortoises eat? What is the best habitat environment? Dadyargentino discovered that temperature and lighting were very important in raising a healthy turtle. Not too hot, not too cold, and up to 12 hours of UVB light is what he needed to know to kick-off this project. A Raspberry Pi, light sensor, temperature sensor and Cayenne are the perfect components for this very helpful Tortoise monitoring system.
