Welcome to the forum. George is certainly a cute little guy. You'll find lots of helpful information here and the folks are always willing to answer questions so do take advantage.
Thank you! At the time of purchase (my wife and daughter purchased Walnut from a bigbox pet store) they stood in line when a woman behind them noted how the little thing looked like a walnut... So, the name just stuck.
Welcome to the forum. Good luck with Turbo's outside enclosure. Lot's of nice and knowledgeable people in this forum as well as a lot of great care guides. You came to the right place.
Great job on the new tank. I love the pics too... especially the one where he's peeking out from between the leaves. The big guy may just be freaked out a little with the changes etc. If he continues to not eat, you can try placing him in a separate container for a few days and see if he starts...

Hi and welcome to the forum. There are a lot of friendly and knowledgeable people here, as you've already seen with the replies. I would recommend starting off with the care guide that Tom linked, above. That should help provide a foundation for a healthy home for your RT. While an outdoor...
