Charlie has lived in our backyard since he was around 5 years old. Be aware, they like to dig! Right now we are filling in Charlie's huge burrow that extends under our patio and house, because we can't take the risk that the house might collapse. Poor thing, he doesn't understand what's going on.I know ill need a bigger enclosure. She is 4 inches and is growing slowly. Im getting my backyard tortoise proofed for her big future
