My new boy...Buddy

Here he is! He was being awfully shy...I'll get better pics later. Like I said he was being kept in a 10 gallon set up with a bowl that wasn't big enough to soak in, no hide, no substrate, and a food dish full of colored mush. Today I fed him organic spring mix with herbs. He got really excited over all those greens, LOL. The lady at the pet store kept calling him Buddy, so I just stayed with thatBig Grin

RE: My new boy...Buddy

Thank youSmile. I'm glad I brought him home. I put him in a 3' x 6' tub, and he has been exploring all day. He has rocks to climb, a log to tunnel under, and a plastic pail I cut the bottom out of and stuck part way into the substrate for a tunnel, and a super large plastic planter bottom for a soak/drinking tray. He seems to be a happy boyWink
