Hello, I am excited to be a part of this forum. I don't know why it took so long to join one, but it's never too late to learn more for your tortoise, although I think that my family has done well at raising Scooby so far. We named her Scooby and then found out at 5 years old that she was a female. That's okay, we kept it. We bought her at 3 weeks old and she is now 10 years old. We bought her because my wife didn't want a dog and wanted an easier pet. She doesn't bark, she, smell, shed, etc. And believe me, this last year was a challenge. We tried a dog and just couldn't do it. I am content with Scooby, and a hedgehog named Kenai. We originally were in Utah where we bought her, but have since had to transfer to Alaska for work. It can be a challenge but I think we have done well with her up here and have worked hard to give her a nice home. She loves Spring and Summer when we can get her out into the green parks and plenty of dandelions. Looking forward to making friendships on here and gaining advice as well as sharing what we have learned while raising our Alaskan Sulcata.
