I just placed an order with Tortoise Supply for a baby cherryhead to be delivered to me next Wednesday July 16th. I already have a new pet exam for Rowan set up for Thursday the 17th. The vet is one from the vet list for my state on this forum. I am so excited to meet Rowan! Rowan will be my very first little tortoise.

Congrats, so excited for you. Don't forget pics when you get him. Also, as soon as he arrives, unbox him, give him a warm water soak for 20-30 minutes, then put him in his enclosure with some food and water and let him be until the next day. You can and should look in on him, but I would give him the rest of the day to settle in and relax after the trip.
