Hi!
I live in a nature reserve in south africa. I live in a rocky area of veldt and succulents. While landscaping a bit, I found a lovely tortoise in the veldt.
I am considering making a large pen for him, and keeping him (but in his natural environment) - anyone want to help me out with if this is a good or bad idea? When possible, I'll post pics to try to ID him, he's a uniform tan colour. I'd want to find out his exact requirements. I mean, he's clearly got food, no idea how he gets water up here. Its very dry. I'd need to make him a pond for the upcoming dry season.
Thoughts? Flames?
