My first tortoise

Totes Adorbs! Ty for sharing. Gratz on the little one.

Thank you!

Grats on the new pickup, torts are great! I have a couple suggestions for the setup though. These are South American torts and thrive in high humidity situations. Cypress mulch is one of the best substrates in my opinion for such creatures. Sphagnum moss is also great when given a quick soak, squeezed out, then stuffed into a hide. I see you're misting, that's good - mist often and liberally. I'd also suggest putting some sort of cover on most of the lid to help trap in as much of that moisture as possible between misting sessions.

Thank you!

I've only had him a few days and I'm already not happy with the repti-bark. Right now I'm misting 3-4 times a day and most of the top is covered and I am still have humidity issues. I will be switching to cypress mulch soon. Thank you for the tip on the moss, I will have to pick some of that up too.
