Hi!
I'm new on here. Today I purchased my new Hatchling Leopard Tortoise. I have no idea what his behavior should be. Currently, he will not really walking, but will come in and out of his shell (it's been half an hour since I brought him home). I hear some squeaky noises? I sprayed some water into the habitat and it got on his shell, I heard its good for shell growth. He was the biggest of the batch, and I got him from a reputable reptile breeder, he was very active and "ran" around. I'm scared as to why he's not walking? Is it possible that he's scared of loose substrate (Coconut fiber) he was raised in what seems to be solid tile (It might be silly for me to think this).
What should I be expecting? What should I do? (I've read Sooo much online for 3 months prior, but I still feel like Im missing some things)
Thank you guys!
