Our Star is here!!!

[OkAdiza]

I’m beyond excited to introduce our long awaited new addition! This little gem arrived on March 17th from Garden State Tortoise, and is healthy, very active, and not shy at all. Upon arriving, we gave him a nice warm soak, he drank immediately, then once we put him into its new home, went exploring a bit and ate like a pig. I weighed him the next morning at 32 grams, length a little less than 2 inches. He’s been pooping regularly, eating, roaming, burrowing, and eating some more since last week. We are very excited to have Dzwɛtei (Jooweh-tay…that’s the best I can try to write out the pronunciation). It means “gem” in Ga. Thank you again @HermanniChris for our little gem. He’s wonderful and was worth the wait .
