Hi all, I'm Scott and I've been lurking for some time. I've read all the big threads (including 45 pages of pyramiding prevention), finally I thought it best to jump in.
I live in Northern San Diego and I'm currently laying plans and prepping my yard for an Tortoise. Not sure yet which species, probably a Sulcata or leopard (would love to have one of Toms, also from So Cal). The ones I've seen had great personalities. I like the idea of a Radiated but the breeding group I've witnessed at a local place here was not real active. An Aldabra would be terrific but its definitely got its pros/cons (probably more cons for me).
I'm planing on the spring to introduce one to my back yard, setting up a heated house and planting a few things that would seem delicious to a tortoise.
I had one question (for now)... I have areas with "Scotts" brand Black mulch that outline the grass and under the trees. Its the kind that comes in big bags from a big box home improvement place. Its been down over a year, any thoughts about its compatibility with a Tortoise?
Thanks for having me.
