New baby has arrived!!

[TortForShort]

So we got our new little baby a week ago, and now that she's finally settled in, got a name, and has taken some adorable pictures.

Her name is Cleopatra, but Cleo for short. She's a two month old Golden Greek tortoise we ordered off of tortoiseshack.com

Her enclosure is a 60 qts under the bed storage bin with Aspen and coconut coir, and an MVB bulb on the hot side. She loves her fake plant next to her flower pot and digs under it quite often. We are also attempting to grow some bird seed for her to hopefully graze on.

We have the beginnings of a picky eater as she will walk right over the red/purple leaves to get to the green ones. There's also a picture below of her eating her first flower.

Hope you enjoy the pictures

Thank you so much.

Haha yeah we like laying in bed with her sometimes because she gets really active and tries climbing on us.

Thank you Sarah, we worked on the enclosure and had a few attempts and a lot of forum reading research until it was perfect for her. The wet side is usually covered for better humidity.

Ha! You sound like a parent! That's what our daughter does on mornings we try to sleep in.

Haha yeah I guess we are. she feels like a new child. Now I get why some people treat their pets as children. Lol
