New Mom need all the advice I can get.

I just received a small sulcata, was told it is 6 months old. I have no experience on how to raise it properly. My hope is to keep it inside in an enclosure for a while. Then move it to an outside enclosure next summer maybe. I live in Southern Idaho. I received a 10 gal. Reptile starter kit with it, but from reading some threads it sou ds like this is not the ideal habitat. I want to give this little one a long healthy life, where do I start...

Welcome to TFO!

This is a great place to learn about taking care of your new tortoise.



That's a useful single sheet careguide.

But you should read, then re-read, this careguide by Tom:

Good luck!
