Hi everyone,
New here, been lurking for the last week looking for information.
I was out of town a little over 2 weeks ago and the daughter took out the garbage and came back with a desert tortoise.
With no luck in finding their home we decided to keep it, she named it Philip......no clue if it is male or female though. I tend to think female.
With the shape of his/her shell is in they haven't been cared for very well.
I am in the process of trying figure everything out.
We have a 200 Sq ft temporary enclosure set up for now with an above ground "burrow" for the time being. Something more permanent is in the works but isn't going to happen over night.
Meet Phillip
