Indeed I have , I got home and he is walking around alot now , loves his log and also his home i made for him.

Becuase i have only just planted the weeds i gave him some shop food but he seems to LOVE the tomato and totaly ignore the water cress/cabage ..

Hes also a bit doppy , like getting stuck on rocks and strugling to get over the wall of the bath rather than use the ramp.

Anyways he had alot of sand stuck to his face so ive mixed more soild in with the sand and given him (atempted) a bath.

Wasnt sure how to bath a tortoise so used warm water + cotton buds. Bit hard to get the sand off around the eyes and I was a bit timid so hes still a little sandy. But heres links to the pics , took about 10 so I shall link the best ones.

Thanks again for all the help and i love my new tort , i named him/her
"BOWSER" << From Mario haha.

Oh and 2 last questions.

* My Paperwork says hes from Solvenia , I read alot about anti slovenia and how buying from slovenia imported torts was bad ... any info on why and if this has any effect on my tort ?

* The Baskin light ive got is 75w and dont really feel like its giving off much heat , what temp do i keep the warm side at and any ideas on anything better than a desk lamp?.

*Enjoy the pics*
