And I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. He is in a temporary wooden enclosure right now (not big enough). I have to go shopping tomorrow for appropriate lighting and substrate. Right now since his back legs don't work well i put some paper shreds on the floor to give him traction. He has a heat lamp for now but not his uvb yet. It is sad to see him walk because he drags his back legs basically. I measured and weighed him. His shell is 9 inches SCL and 8 inches wide. He is 6 1/2 lbs. Pretty small. So do I give him lots of room like any other tortoise or keep things a little closer together since he doesn't get around as well as others? What elose should I do for him? @Tom and others
