Good Afternoon everyone,

I am very excited to be here. My name is Stasia and I live in Indiana. We recently added to our family with a baby Greek Tortoise. He (not sure of gender) is about 2 inches long and is named Dash. My son named him after The Incredible and I just loved the contradiction. I will be posting a couple questions shortly. I did a lot of research before we added him to our family but I do not want to mess anything up so it is nice to have somewhere to turn.

I look forward to chatting with others and seeing cute pics of everyone's babies.

Stasia

Hi, and welcome! I love the name Dash! Your son did a good job naming him.

On the flip side, I named my desert tortoise Chug. [emoji23]

He Stasia, and welcome!

That's a nice-sized enclosure for Dash. I'd like to suggest you trade off that red light and get a Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE) instead. The CHE provides heat without light, and the red light gives SOME tortoises the idea that red substrate is good to eat.
