Hello everyone
Great to be a part of this site .
I'm a relatively new tortoise owner, I've had my tortoise for just over a year now. Name is Master Oogway (please tell me you know what that is reference to!).
I just have a few questions if someone could answer them, that would be great.
First
And this is the main one because it would probably answer a lot of my other questions. I know this may sound silly but can someone tell me what breed Master Oogway is. When I got him/her, I was told he/her was a Mediterranean spur-thighed but upon further research and looking at him/her, I'm not too sure what type he/her is. I've attached a few photos if someone could have a look and tell me. This would also be helpful as I am building an outdoor enclosure and want to know what his/her natural habitat is like and how big he/she will get to match it.
Second
For anyone who has an outdoor enclosure, do you have a heat lamp in the shed/housing area? Nowhere tells me whether I should or not. It simply isn't mentioned and I want to give Master Oogway everything that he/she needs. I live in the UK and temperatures somewhat vary, sometimes it's nice a warm and sometimes it's raining. Our weather cannot decide what it wants to do!
Thanks in advance for reading this!
