The tortoise with the bigest gulars wins.I hope that works out for you.Mine will fight when kept with torts.that are not normally with them.I had to do it a few weeks ago with Fay.I flooded big time.I had one with a real bad bite to the neck.Its the grab,then they both recoil!Ive got one now with a hole in its neck and a peeled lower jaw.Thats another good reason to keep them single.But sometimes you got to act fast.Your out building sounds like just what you need now.Being dark calms mine down.I have also noticed that when kept in large cattle tanks when they get resless and start climbing the sides,I put a large unfolded news paper over them and lightly mist it,they calm down and go to sleep.Something about feeling the paper clinging to their carapace is calming,like their under some wet leaves.I hope everything works out for you.I know Dr.Flanagin a Vet at the zoo there.He's got some big mt.torts.too.I hope hes ok along with the rest of you keepers and folks near the Gulf.Hang on.
