new member from nor cal introduction

[MysterE]

Just thought I should introduce myself before driving everyone crazy with questions!

New Leopard tortoise owner, here. 2 month old little cutie named Noe (like Noe Valley). We live in Sonoma Wine country, north of San Francisco. We got our little baby from the east bay vivarium, from a reputable breeder (no names given here). We've got a nice little closed set-up for the little one with a CHE bulb and a 24 inch UVB bulb, running the UVB on a timer and the CHE on a thermostat. She/he is still a little shellshocked (I wish I could say no pun intended) from the move, but eating several times a day and getting used to the surroundings.

I'll post some pictures of the set-up and of course the baby!

Welcome from another N Calif member.

I haven't been into East Bay Vivarium in several years now, but it certainly was an extremely good, informed, well run place with great animals.
