New lifelong friend

[TLSizzle]

Sunday I brought home my 1st tortoise! A gorgeous eastern hermann's tortoise (sex unknown yet).
We call 'her' Abby. My 6 year old daughter named her and is thrilled.

I did plenty of research and found the hermans was the best fit for us. Doesn't get too big, hardy, relatively affordable. So I found a local breeder and brought her home.

She loves to bask, eat, soak, have supervised walks around her outdoor enclosure and nap afterwards.

Peep the baby?

Put it in your will, it will outlive you. I hope you don’t feed it iceberg lettuce

They are great animals, enjoy

Cool! That's a good size, too - well started. Most are about the size of a quarter when first hatched. I'm not sure how fast this species grows, but one that size would be about a 2-3-year-old in the species I breed. Will you keep it mostly indoors or outdoors?

They've all got awesome personalities, so enjoy getting to know it!
