I meant to say, of course, Em, that @Lyn W is a terrific member here from Wales who i am sure will be able to help you with lots of questions and solutions regarding Welsh temperatures, what is available and so on. She's very nice, as well.
I'm half Welsh too, by the way.

Hi Em, and welcome to the forum.
I'm at the other end of Wales!
This is the best place to learn everything about torts,
so forget all the other websites everything is covered here
with some great people to advise and chat to.
Well done for researching first. I was thrown in at the deep end but
since I joined I have learnt such a lot from experienced keepers all over the world.
So read, search and ask as many questions as you like and you'll have a happy healthy tort .
