Hi y’all! I’m in NC (near the RDU area) and I’m researching our first tortoise. Leaning towards a Hermann’s due to my climate. Winters can get cold/snowy but just for short periods of time, and then in the 70s again. I live in a more rural area, but have a large privacy-fenced yard, and have kept ducks in the past with no issues (no predators). I do have cats, and am contemplating repurposing an old bookshelf as an enclosure (making a lid/top for it) and putting it in my garage until he can be out doors (permanently?) as the goal is to make a permanent outdoor habitat.

How old/big does he have to be to stay outside? Any tips for me? I’ve been reading threads and lurking for a few days now. 😅
