Hi everyone,
I'm a first time tortoise owner here. I got myself a sulcata tortoise, his name is Maximus and he's pretty awesome. He hatched January 9, 2014 and is already amazing me at how smart he is. During the day I created a pretty cool outdoor enclosure for him (picture coming soon) and at night he's in a 10 gallon reptile terrarium with a heat lamp. He's already getting in the water himself to drink and eats plenty dandelions, grass, weeds, and cactus throughout the day. I have yet to give him any fruit as I am afraid of him developing pyramiding. Anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself. I am Krystal and I am from Southern California. Looking forward to getting to know you and your tortoises here on the forums! Talk to you soon.
