Thanks! Oh nice! Do you have any pics :)

I got him from Paul from Tortuga villa. He's a great dude! Very reputable breeder.

The care information found in Tortuga villa's website is quite outdated. Dietary needs, substrate material, enclosure sizes, and humidity level information from Tortuga Villa's website would not be recommended these days.

Here is a link to a more up to date care sheet on Star/Leopard/Sulcata tortoises:

Important differences. Explanations will be found in link:
1. Keep humidity levels high.
2. Give your young tortoise daily soakings.
3. Give your tortoise a proper sized enclosure. Tortuga villa's recommendations are small for even a star hatchling.

Thanks for the information. I already read up on it a bunch. He hasn't touched his website in YEARS (so he told me)

Good looking out though!
