Welcome! Always happy to see people research BEFORE they get a tortoise. Please start here: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/info-for-new-people-please-read-this-first.202363/#post-2036954
its a LOT but its good info.
10-12' isn't enough for any tortoise to live healthily, you could look at...
Oh good! When you said "European pond turtle" earlier I thought maybe it was invasive. Hope they listen to you @Yvonne G !
I also saw this one, I thought this might be a desert box turtle...
it was found as a "stray" but its real desert country there. I would think tortoises would be found more routinely wandering around than a water-needing turtle would be.
@EppsDynasty or @Tom probably know the area better than I do tho (Lancaster)
Its shell is real smooth tho!
Hi welcome to the forum. How wonderful if it works out and you can adopt @sj.marrs tortoise!
Alex provided you the best link to start with: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/info-for-new-people-please-read-this-first.202363/#post-2036954
and its a LOT of info so if you have questions please...
Thanks @Yvonne G . I’m not trying to be difficult or argumentative I will definitely block off the area, but I’m still trying to figure out if you guys think it’s dangerous for any reason other than the fact that he has to angle to get through. Is there something *else* about that area that is...
Thanks al! If I widen the area by shaving down the wood so he doesn’t need to contort would that be ok, or do you think the entire area should be off limits no matter what?
Has anyone seen this? I’m trying to figure out if it is real or a joke:
