I'm pleased to announce that after months of preparation and anticipation Frank has arrived. Frank is a Dalmatian's Hermann's tortoise from Chris Leone (Garden State Tortoise @HermanniChris ). He weighed in at 90 grams and measured right around 3". I've attached some pictures of Frank and his new home.

I checked up on him about two hours ago and he had burrowed himself down in the sphagnum peat moss inside one of the hides. Had to stick my finger down in there to find him since he was completely covered.

My Elsa would bury herself completely for the first week or two that we had her. She occasionally does it still.

A little update on Frank. He likes to completely bury himself in the sphagnum peat moss. I've seen him exploring his new home and even caught him with a weed hanging out of his mouth yesterday. I tried to feed him some Mazuri diet with some weeds mixed in today, but he wasn't interested. I've soaked him three times including the morning he arrived and he has pooped each time (at least he seems regular ;)).
