Hello everyone!
My name's Adriana, I'm from Skopje, Macedonia and a huge tortoise fan.
Yesterday (07. May) I was given a baby Greek/Russian tortoise (can't tell them apart, I have much to learn), found upside down on a street. Me being the obsessive tort-addict as I am, I just HAD to keep it. This is my 4th tort, the first three I had when I was little and my parents released them after 1-2 weeks in the wild, they figured it would be a big responsibility.
P.S. I also have a turtle. A non-stop hungry red ear slider which I have been keeping for 4 years now. And a dog
So, any tips for a new tortoise owner? (Owner sounds bad, let's just say keeper. One does not simply own a tort, it owns itself.)
I am going shopping for a terrarium today, I already have a heat lamp, I decided to keep Kaia indoors. I intend on planting a few seeds, getting a UV lamp as soon as possible. (did you know that there is NO reptile pet shop/vet in my country? Only for dogs and cats. And no UV lams. Terrible. )
Pictures of Kaia coming soon! (sorry for the long essay )
