Greetings fellow tortoise lovers

Hi guys! Just introducing myself, my name is Haley and I'm from Hawai'i. I live on O'ahu with my little redfoot, Ruby! I'm new to this forum and new to tortoise care. I got my Ruby about 2 months ago and things seem to be going well so far!

Just wanted to drop in and say hello, and Ruby says hello too!

Hi and welcome! What caused you to decide to get a tortoise?

Hi and welcome! What caused you to decide to get a tortoise?

I've had many different kinds of pets in the past including 3 dogs, a cat, 3 rabbits, a horse, and even a red eared slider. So I wanted a different kind of pet. I decided on a tortoise because I wanted a pet that would be a life long friend

No, I'm not on the windward side. I'm living it up in the east in Waipahu. I'm Hawaiian as well! Aloha to you and your family
