Hi All! I've been lurking for months, binging on all the info I could on tortoises that might thrive in my care, and enjoying the banter. However, along the way, I seem to have added a few more species to The List...at any rate, I'm hopefully going to be adding my first tortoise in a few weeks - a Dalmatian from a highly recommended breeder on this forum. The hive mind here has been amazing, so thank you everyone for your questions, breadth of knowledge and informed opinions. I'm already planning on how I can reconfigure my house and yard to fit species #2 and #3...
I live up in the Taconics, where NY, MA + VT all meet, and share my life with:
11 dogs (2 border collies, a koolie, a saluki, a saluki/borzoi mix, 2 borzoi, 2 malamute/husky mixes and 1 foster borzoi who weighs more than I do)
3 species of day geckos (p. grandis, p. klemmeri and l. williamsi)
1 ball python (BEL morph)
and a whole mess of fish and orchids
I thought I was done building my own little paradise, but then I started learning about tortoises...so here I am.
Looking forward to learning more and reading all of the tortoisey antics and adventures!
Best,
Emily
