I have worked in pet stores for many years (not currently tho) and have had quite a few pets. Starting with (of course) dogs, then on to fish (my first love), turtles (mata mata, spotted), tortoises (leopard, red foot), leopard geckos, crocodile skinks, birds (red lored, love birds) , snakes (boas, milk snakes, rat snakes)....I think that's it. I have been out of the hobby for a while and am just getting back in. I am preparing a setup for a new Indian Star tortoise (3 month old female). I know its not the best way to reintroduce myself back in to the hobby, but I should be ok. The little one should be arriving this week. I will post photos of her (as well as size and weight) and hopefully have any questions answered here. Seems like a nice website. I will admit I'm not the greatest at responding (do to my work schedule), but I will get back at some point. Looking forward to hearing/working with ya'll.

Welcome to the Forum!

Tortoise-keeping has changed a lot recently and most of what you've learned in the past is outdated. Please read our star tortoise care sheet with an open mind. It was written by a very experienced fellow who has had excellent results raising baby stars.

That's what brought me to your site. Quite a lot of info on that care sheet and helpful tips. And your right quite a bit has changed over the years. Thanks!!
