[Stuart S.]

Just wanted to introduce everyone to Spur. He arrived today and is a happy baby, full belly and napping!

He sure is a tiny little guy ! Glad to see he has found the food dish already !

Looks great. Not sure from the single pix, but i think the substrate should be wetter. Looks a tad dry. Keep a good check on all your temps, and humidity levels. Soak daily and have fun with your new tort!

Yes it was a tad dry, no more, the rains came and we have good humidity now. Thank you for the help!!

Didn't have a chance to weigh little man when he came in but we did as soon as we got home.

49g and 2&1/8"

Enjoying the 3 hour ride home. We kept the Jeep at a toasty 86 degrees the whole way.

Wow, that's real tortoise love!

I love everything about your little Spur! But car ride in 86... show much more of true sacrificial devotion to the family pet than I could do. I start panting at 79, and feel like "I'm suffocating" at 80... it is obvious that your little dude has found himself a very nice home and very caring tort parents. Congrats! Enjoy each other! It is supposed to be (hopefully) a very loooong ride

I couldn't do that ! I would probably fall asleep !

A gorgeous tort! GOD bless.

Take good care of him @Stuart S.

Thank you dearly! We did our homework on our decision and we don't want our little one to end up like so many others do unfortunately. I still have a lot to learn but that's why I joined this page and I'm sure glad I did because I've already learned a lot and I know I'll learn more and I've definitely met some great folks too!

This was a great race

Great picture but My piece of advice would keep that baby in his enclosure as much as possible until he hits at least 100 grams. I would even leave him in his soak dish in the enclosure.
