Hello from Florida

[Kay8605]

Hi everyone,

So glad to have found a tortoise forum! I'm a newbie torti enthusiast and have recently added two tortoises to my family; "Grandpa" is a male Russian and "Penelope" is a female(?) Sulcata.

I'm still new to tortoise care and am looking to learn all I can to keep these two healthy and happy! I'm not sure of either of their ages, Penelope's most recent weight was 6lbs. I'm guessing Grandpas weight at about 2lbs.

Hope to make some tortoise-y friends and learn some good tips from the forum!

Hello, and a very warm welcome to the forum Kay, Penelope and Grandpa.
Have a read of the care sheets pinned to the tops of the Russian and Sulcata sections here for lots of useful information.
Please post enclosure pics and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Enjoy.
