home's tortoise

A little about myself, I'm 61 years old and have had and loved lizards and tortoises since I was in my teens, I have a quince monitor, a Uromastyx , an ackie monitor and my new Homes tortoise. It arrived on Friday and I find this peculiar species very different from the redfoot and desert...

I just got a homes tortoise, have read as much as I can about this odd species, got him yesterday, will he always be so shy? Looking to buy or adopt another medium size one
