    Home upgrade!

    Nugget my 1 year old Hermann's tortoise just got her home upgraded from her old Home Depot Cement mixing tub, to a new 6×2ft enclosure! It's still definitely a work in progress and it looks a little janky for the moment, but she's loving all the extra space! Can't wait to keep decorating it🐢💚
