Fast as a speeding Tortoise

Cabinet is done

Ok I’ve been in tortoise mode for a while now. The cabinet is completed and I have to say that I am surprised how good it actually came out. The actual building it didn’t take that long either but I did have to wait a few weeks before I could get it to my apartment. there’s been a drought here but, when we wanted to move the cabinet that’s when it decides to rain. I just end up waiting for the following weekend but, the cabinet did eventually make it to my apartment.  I was able to set it up. I added bedding of compressed coconut mix with some organic topsoil and I also added some plants to give it a tropical feel.

Tortoise is here

Last Saturday was the day, I finally got my new pet tortoise.  I am pretty excited to have this little guy/girl. It took me a while to come up with a name.  I definitely wanted something gender neutral because it will be a few years before I can find out. So, after great debate and a few days referring to him as Tortoise Who I finally decided on Sam.

It’s just been a few days but, Sam is doing good.  I have been feeding him red lettuces, Hibiscus leaves, carrots, and some strawberries. Right now I am starting to tone down on how often I mist him it’s getting little too humid.
