Welcome Jarret!! I hope you and your son will have lots of bonding time with his (and your) Christmas gift. :) I thought about making some smart comment when you asked for extra information and that you had experience with lizards.... something a long the lines of "you should not expect to see your Cherryhead climbing the tree branches", but thought better of it. :p :rolleyes: He may of course help himself to food you intended for your lizards however. :D :tort:

Hi and welcome! I try to organize everything I learn in the Library, linked below, so I don't have to keep writing it out.

Hey Jarret. Welcome! I'm right across the water in SI. I have two Cherry Heads. Read everything you can in "the Tortoise Library". Great information, especially for a new RF owner.
