So I just recently made the first step in moving my tortoise outdoors and he is in a larger (about double his old one) enclosure that resides in my garage. Obviously, with this he is more exposed to "nature", although not fully yet, and there are some "creepy crawlies" that pay an occasional visit.
By and large these do not worry me, so long as it does not reach an infestation level since he'll be exposed to similar once he is outdoors full time. My question is: are there certain bugs/etc. in particular that I should be wary of?
I know a couple obvious ones would be parasitic worms (especially near/in feces) or ants, but anything else of serious concern?
I appreciate your input.
