Hello all! I'm so happy to have found this forum. I picked up my first tortoise today, and I'm reading some comments on this speices - and feeling a little ill prepared with the lesson I was given from the previous owner. I originally came to see what could be done for his shell - he seems incredibly dry. Now I'm curious about humidity (as I was told a water pool would keep him happy). I was also told a veggie diet, but see many suggestions for a more omnivorous diet. Any advice would be appreciated. Shame on the owner, and shame on me for not doing my research prior. I can assure you though, I'm up to the challenge and very excited for our new family member! Just need some sound advice from some experienced and knowledgable tortoise owners
