I'm super excited to be a part of such an awesome community! I have been doing tons of research in preparation for my very first tortoise. I have 2 children, ages 13 and 6, and we live in the high desert area of Southern California (specifically Victorville). I think I have decided on a Leopard but am still open to some ideas. I will be building an outside enclosure, with my lack of carpentry skills! I have millions of questions and I see I am rambling on in my introduction, sorry.:shy: Thank you for the wonderful forum and I am excited to be here!
