Well I've never owned a tortoise, but I do have experience with smaller exotic pets.
I was thinking I would get a baby and I could learn how to take care of its size faster than it can grow.
I'm moving to a large acreage in Florida, with zero extra indoor space. I wanted to get an aldabra as a completely outdoor pet.
What do I do in the winter?
Will a large shed work to keep it out of the rain?
Will it challenge fencing when it's bigger? If so, what do I do to prevent escape...
