Hi. Don't put her alone in "high places". It's an accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't let her wander on the ground either. She'll be just fine in her enclosure! [emoji106]

Why is Alexa allowed to get to high places? Are you letting her roam your house/floors/anywhere else?

The safest place for your tortoise is it’s enclosure, and that’s where it should stay. It should not be roaming anywhere, especially unattended. It is too cold, and so, so many bad things will happen. Why do you think she wants to explore? Is she pacing?

Could we see a picture of the enclosure?

I hope you're going to stick to what you've said in a couple of your posts ...

You've mentioned a number of times that you'll do whatever is needed to keep Alexa alive and healthy ... what this tortoise needs is a large and well-heated enclosure that will maintain an adequate humidity level.

If you won't provide that for the tortoise, then you're not being honest in your statements that you're going to take care of Alexa.

I hope you either will provide for her needs or find someone who will.
