Hi all! I'm Kay from Missouri, the south-west corner.
Looking forward to hearing about other torty lovers!
I have had my Red Foot male for almost a yr now.
He was a yr old when I got him.
I have besides "Turtle" (yeah, I know, real original!)LOL
1 bearded dragon no name yet.
1 chihuahua " Hannah"
1 Greenwing macaw "Izzy-Bella-aka Dora-aka-Zzzzy"
1 painted conure "Petey" my Hubby named him
100+ Budgies (Iraise them) Too many to name!
1 Hubby "Troy"
4 children " Barry, Brian, Eric, & Manda"
7 grandchildren & 1 on the way!
also 1 great grandchild on the way....& NO! I'm not old enough
for that!!!!!!!

Welcome!!!!! You are quite busy!!!

Thanks for the welcome Dee!
Yeah, but not as much as you would think.LOL
Please explain the numbers after your animals.

Welcome! Just what I like... another busy household!

I want to see pics of your Red-Foot! They are my favorite!!!!

I think you'll have fun here, and learn a lot in the process!

The numbers are the amount of those types of torts, males first, then female, then unknown. So I have four male Russians and 7 female Russians, so it would looke like "4.7 Russians". If I had three hatchlings that I didn't know the gender, it would be "4.7.3 Russians"

Oh! I get it! Thanks Kelly. My son will try to post a pic tomorrow. Turts gone to bed for the night!
I have a breeder just a few miles from me. Hoping to pick up some hatchlings this spring. Yee Haw!
Tell me about the Spiders! Had never heard of them till joining here, and have umpteen turtle and tortoise
books!

Welcome to the group Dreamer, Im sure you will enjoy your stay here.

Well I don't know much about the Spiders yet, I am looking forward to my first two arriving in April! I'm getting them from EgyptianDan here! Check out this thread:

I'm getting top right and bottom middle! I can't wait to see them in person! They stay pretty small as far as torts go, 5 - 6" tops for females (smaller for males). I've heard they're just really pretty pet rocks, though! LOL! But that's okay! My Russians are demanding, personality wise, so it'll be nice to have some that might not "need" me so much!

Hi Kay,
Welcome to the forum I have a friend in Rolla, how far away from Rolla are you? You are very busy. Can't wait to see pictures of your Redfoot. What are you going to get this spring?
