I am still just so amazed at how utterly different the same tortoise can be depending on where he is.
Inside Carl is lazy, he wakes up 3 hours after his lights turn on, and eats a bit, maybe suns himself for a while, then goes back to sleep within an hour or two.
Outside Carl is usually a statue when I go out to check on him, so I never know what he's up to, but his food is always gone, and sometimes I'll see him underneath the plants, or in his water dish, maybe even on top of some rocks. He sleeps in his hide very little when he's outdoors.
I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone on the forum who talked me into making an outdoor enclosure. Now I understand how much more fun it is to own a tort when they get to live outside
