Welcome to the forum Rica! Nice little three toed. Have you ever kept reptiles before? They have very specific requirements but are easy if you know what to do for each species.

No experience before, but I'm all about research and my dad is very familiar as he has a tortoise. He guides me through the differences though! Thank you.

Little cutie. Once you get the habitat ready, enjoyment is what's left. :)
