My name is Ronny and I am a native Floridian. Recently, our neighbor's box turtle wandered into our yard. We had it a few hours and I knew I needed one.
After a few days of intense research on care and housing, we were ready to adopt. We visited six different reptile stores and took notes on the animals and the condition of the store (and prices!).
We bought a three month old red footed tortoise, now named Skittles. We bought a kiddie pool and set up three different substrates (sand, soil and coconut fiber). In the middle we planted some aloe, two types of oregano and a small daisy plant. He has two shelters, a large landscaping brick for feedings and two water stations.
Hope I'm starting out on the right foot!!!
