Hello, fellow tortoholics!
My tortoise, Speedy, is to awake from hibernation this weekend, and I'm wondering how I should do it. I usually leave him in room temperature for a couple of hours before I heat him up with his heat bulb.
Now, he's been hibernating at my dad's, and I have to bring him back home before the end of the weekend. This is a three hour drive during which I keep him in a small box. Which would be less stressful - driving home immediately after waking him up so that he's still groggy when driving, or let him wake up completely and then bring him back?
