im confused did your tortoise give birth or did it just wander in there?

Pretty freaking awesome. But do you crawl into their enclosures often when having a bad day? Like instead of dog house, tort house
Sorry, couldn't resist. Torts can always make a bad day good again.

I assume its a big tortoise mine is pretty small he is about 6 inches and he is 1 year old but they do get pretty big so I assume their tortoise is big and needs a big house.

Closer to the former; his tortoise laid eggs that he didn't know about and he found one that hatched out 'naturally' in the enclosure.
