Hello everyone!
My name is Thomas and I'm 20 years old and currently finishing my 4 years education towards becoming a laboratory analyst! I'm actually as lucky that I most likely will be able to start a job at my internship.
I live with my girlfriend who is 25 years old and we are about to move into a bigger home which will be near my job. There we will dedicate a specific room for our future turtle.
Recently a distant family member has decided to get rid of her leopard tortoise and we are very eager to take it.
We already looked in to caring for one alot and we spoke to a few people who have been keeping turtles for a long time. One of them told us (from the picture we showed him) that it's a pardalis babcocki.
I hope I introduced enough and any tips towards caring for our turtle are very welcome.
So far our plan is to put sand (not sure yet) on the floor and spread out some big branches and rocks around the area for him to fiddle with. Also we will put a big rock water bowl in. And in one of the corners of the room we will put a shelter for him to relax in.
We will put a heat and UV lamp in and if there is not enough light coming through the windows we will create more light.
Thanks
