Hi! My name is Lola and I have a russian tortoise named Ella. This is my first tort, but not my first reptile! I currently have a RES also. Ella is about 6 years old (this was estimated) and I've only had her for a few months, but she is doing GREAT! I love this forum and I've read almost every russian tort topic here... I wish there were more! Now I'm working on the other species of torts here .

Welcome to Tortoise Forum.org wayne.bob and tortoiseluv!

My RES's name is Turdy... yeah, it's a pretty lame name but I came up with it when I was just a wee kid. I've had him for a long time and he's precious to me just like my tort. Unfortunatly I do have a favorite

The A is meaningless. The picture is a kite I found on an internet catalog and the A just means it's the first one on the page.

Still trying to figure out how to post pictures. The add attachment thing down there doesn't seem to work.

Hello everyone! My name is Ann and I live in Ohio with my three teenage daughters. We have quite a little zoo at my house including 4 hermann's torts, 1 hedgehog, 16 snakes (ball pythons, cornsnakes, and hognoses) and 3 dogs. I received my AAT (animal assisted therapy) certificate, and when I graduate with my RN, I would love to use some of my pets in a therapeutic setting.
I found this forum searching for fellow tort lovers on google and I am so glad I did. You all seem very friendly and I look forward to many future posts!!

Hi Ann! Nice to officially meet and greet you. I have a BP currently. Would love to have a hognose, but when it's a choice between money going for a snake or for a tort, wellllll seems the torts win every time.. I recall the hedgehog we had fondly too. Love the way they sorta vacuum up the food.

Sure gald you found us!!
