Hello everyone! First time tortoise owner here, and glad to have found this forum.
I have been doing a ton or research on the internet to try to learn as much as I can going into this, but always nice to speak to actual people who are taking care of their tortoise friends day in and day out to learn from their experiences.
The tortoise was primarily a birthday gift for my 6 year old son Josh. My son is autistic (highly functioning), and was in a social skills group that had a pet tortoise. He has aged out of that group, and was upset about the fact he would not get to see "Twiggles" anymore, so we decided to get him a Twiggles of his own.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
