Will tics bite my tortoise

[tortmommy]

I love to bring Leo outside when I have the chance he seems to move a lot more. Actually never stops moving and I know there are a lot of tics on my property should I be concerned

Ticks normally attack warm blooded creatures, but there are some types of ticks that get on reptiles. Just inspect him closely when you bring him in.

Also, it would be a good idea to think about setting up an outdoor enclosure for your new Russian tortoise. They do much better outside.

Ok thank you I will look into making a outdoor enclosure. I would need to bring him in at night though it gets to cold for him
