I'm so happy and proud to introduce my beautiful new baby Harold. (Hopefully he's a boy.)
He is very small. Way smaller than I expected, but that's ok!! When I first got him, he had to stay in his shipping box for longer than he was supposed to based on a mailing mess up. But it was only like 2 hours longer he had to be in there, and when I took him out I gave him a good soak before putting him in his new home.
He is surprisingly bold. I figured he would be super shy and basically just hide forever. But he took a stroll around his home, and he would put his head in his shell when my hand got close to him, but if I just peeked into his enclosure or walked by it, he wasn't scared at all. He had a good time basking and he's eaten some clover which I think he likes a lot. He's just discovered his hide today which he likes.
I'm just so thrilled and excited to finally have a tortoise. He's so gorgeous and I love him so much. Thank you for reading!
