My son is a ninja turtle freak. That is where Mikey got his name (Michelangelo). Today we took some pictures for his birthday invitations. His birthday will be, you guessed it, ninja turtles.

I'm from DeRidder, LA. It's about 45 minutes north of Lake Charles. I'm fining that there is a small community of tort owners here. What part of LA are you from?

How much space do you need for a Sully?

I am new to this as well. I wasn't as smart as you. I never planned to own a tort. I walked into petsmart to buy a dog and walked out with Mikey, the Russian tort. Lol. This, however is the place to be, I just got on here yesterday and have already learned a lot. Good luck on your journey! And...

Thank you guys so much. I'm so glad I found this forum! I have been worrying and stressing over every little thing all day! Lol
