Hello everyone!!
Super excited to finally be here. I’ve wanted to own a tortoise for quite some time now. My wife and I just bought our first home and I feel I can provide a tortoise with the environment/space that it needs and deserves.
I live in South Georgia and I’m considering either a Hermmani or Russian tortoise. My plan is to build something outside so that I can provide as much space as possible. I’ve seen some cool stuff online and plan to let the tortoise roam the yard often since I can supervise while gardening. The only question I have at this point is heat during the nights and winter days. I want to provide my tortoise with the best care possible so any advice is greatly appreciated.
1/4 acre property
Acces to electricity
Prefer building a ground enclosure and shelter
Main Concern - heat source and setup for night/winter months.
