So many good ideas!! Thanks!

Thank you! I'm so glad I found tortoise forum! I'm reading as many posts as I can and I'm still finding out more and new information. I think I may be too over protective to leave him outside at night and I will be checking on him so often. I'm thinking of a smaller breed, Russian, Greek...
