Find me at the Living Rainforest
You’ll find me in the Amazonica glasshouse. I do like to spend some of my time underground in the holes I dig as this is how I’d live in the wild, but do call back another time if I’m not about.
Look out for…
My shell is made of keratin with a horn-like covering to help protect me from predators, and I have six movable bands to my shell.
