Hello! I frequently have tortoise questions and google searches always brought me here, so I finally decided to join. I'm a turtle/tortoise NUT *studying marine biology so I can hopefully study sea turtles later on*, and have been wanting a pet tortoise for a very long time. Well, yesterday my boyfriend surprised me with a redfooted tortoise! Unfortunately, he got it from Petco, while I had been planning on adopting or at least getting from a breeder. Still, my little Tortolla is ADORABLE! I do worry that I might be not be up to par as a tortoise mom though. I know it's only been a day but I don't want to do anything wrong and hurt him or make him sick! Plus, he's in a 55 gallon tank right now, which will NOT do for the long term, so I'm looking for tortoise table ideas as well, so I can build one.
Anyway, just coming to say hello! I have a feeling this forum will be getting a lot of "HEEELLLP!" posts from me!
