Hi there,
I am new and very excited. I am a stay at home Mom that has always wanted a tortoise of some sort. So, I decided that I wanted a sulcata and my Mom bought me a hatchling, "his" name is Tery/i ( we'll see later) from a local pet store that has a great reputation for thier creatures. Then a few weeks later I rescued a adult sulcata. His name is Lou. He came from a animal control shelter. When I got him they told me that he was depressed and was ramming them and not eating. I brought him home and he is great. He eats like a champ and does nothing but follow me around the yard when I go out there.
Anyway, I am very excited to be here and learn more and more.
