Hello!
I haven't posted in a long time. Momo, the sulcata I took care of for 3 years is back at his previous owners place (my sister) and now has a huge backyard to roam in. It took me about two weeks to make her backyard suitable. It's been a while now and I miss having a tort pal to chill with. Anyways, I've been looking at smaller species and I'm thinking either a Russian or t.h. Hermani. Leaning towards Russian because the ladder is very difficult for me to find. So here's my question: if I provide a 3'x3' enclosure with daily free roaming time (1-2 hours) within the apartment, will that suffice for these torts? I've been reading that 4'x6' is the minimum enclosure size recommended but was unsure if that included free roam time. I'd also have outdoor roaming available for him in the warmer times of the year. But it's usually colder and windy in Oregon.
Also, I looked at the sales section on the forum and couldn't find either of those two types of torts for sale. The most recent one was from 3 months ago. Does anyone know someone who has one for sale? I'd prefer a male.
