So I am a first time tortoise owner and my hatchling will be on its way starting Monday morning. I am very excited for the little guy and have everything prepared and set up. I have a topsoil/coco coir substrate (I had play sand but I read a lot of reviews so I switched) in a nice size indoor enclosure, an MVB lamp for the day and heat emitter for our colder nights here in Minnesota. I also have a nice variety of greens picked out and a calcium block and nutrition powder. My enclosure contains a an appropriate sized shelter, food/water dishes, and temperature thermometer/humidity thermometer. Now, I feel the only things I am missing is a name. I am stuck between two that are from characters in movies I loved as a kid. One is Toothless (from: How to Train Your Dragon). The second is LittleFoot (from: The Land Before Time). They are both pretty unisex names (because you cant tell the sex when they are hatchlings) and I love them both but need some help deciding. Any help would be appreciated. I also have done a lot of research on hatchlings and their first day arrivals but any advice for me being a first time owner would be appreciated! Thanks!
