hello *waves*
i'm laura and i have no tortoises yet, though i'd love some! i've joined to do as much research and ask as many questions as possible! i don't like to take an animal on unless i know atleast the basics. i have several animals at the minute, most are rescues.
i have 6 hamsters, 6 gerbils, 4 (soon to be 6) mice, 2 chinchillas, 2 millipedes, 9 snails, peruvian stick insects and 10 indian stick insects :-) |

RE: hello *waves*
*waves back* Hi and welcome! Trying to get over a fear is why I keep at least one snake around. Always had loved looking at them, but handling them? Yuck! Now at least I can handle my own snakes. Not sure I could do insects, but did enjoy my spider.

RE: hello *waves*
Laura, try your local tort & turt chapter Club if you have one. Where are you located?

RE: hello *waves*
This is a great forum, I think you came to the right place for information. Your stick insects sound interesting. I think I will look them up on the web.

RE: hello *waves*
looks like you've already got quite the menagerie... a tortoise would make a fine addition!
i'll echo this because its already been said, contact your local turtle/tortoise club and let them know you are interested in adopting |
