Hello Lisa, If you can post some good pics of your uncle's tort., it should be possible to determine the species. Do you know which species your tortoise is? It is important that species are not mixed. Regardless of species, I'm afraid there is a good chance that they would fight, but if they are the same species, there is no harm in introducing them under supervision. Even if there is a small fight & one retreats, you may be lucky, in that with one dominant & one submissive fights are few & quickly over. Having joined this Group, I expect that you are now aware that vivariums should not be used. I assume it largely lives outside from April to October. Hibernation is a natural process for torts. from temperate regions & not to be feared. There is quality information on the subject in "The Tortoise/Incl…." box on the left. Good Luck, Tom | |
