Hi all! I'm really excited, after years of wanting a turtle/tortoise I'm finally in a place where I can! I've been really struggling with my mental health and the quarantine is starting to really get to me so I think getting a new friend would be perfect! I've done a bunch of research but I tend to get overwhelmed with what would be best. I'm hoping to get some basic help/advice for set up and beginning care! I'm probably going to get one in the next week or so but I want to get his home set up now so he doesn't suffer any new owner issues! What exactly is best for them to be set up? What do they need to thrive? I want to give him the best home possible and I tend to do better with real people advice than reading books. He's going to be indoors on top of my plant shelf in my room and I have a timer for the outlet so his lights and everything can go on when he needs. Any help and advice is truly appreciated, thank you!! I'm so excited!
