I've been lurking around the forum for a while as I did my research. I appreciate all of the details that can be found here. I'm grateful to the local tortoise chapter for answering so many of my questions and entrusting me with this gem. I just received this beautiful girl today. We'll come up with a name eventually. She's spent most of the day exploring her space in the yard foraging on the weeds I gave up years ago trying to tame. I am sure I'll be asking questions soon enough.

Hi, and welcome to TFO!

The care for DT's is almost the same as for Russian tortoises. So in case you didn't find this while in your lurking mode, here's a care sheet.
