Figured I'd introduce myself as I lurk and read more. Live in the St. Louis area which I realize isn't prime tortoise raising climate but I don't foresee myself moving someplace warmer so it'll have to do.
I've had a Redfoot tortoise for a few of years now. I use to keep/breed a lot of ball pythons as well as a few burms and retics, etc. Trying to keep up with work, growing kids, and a basement full of snakes started to wear on me so I eventually downsized on the snakes. I recently picked up a young leopard and a sulcata (housed separately) and have zero plans to try and get into breeding them. Did that with the balls and eventually it started to zap the fun out of them so these are purely pets.
Just figured I'd join rather than lurk.
Thanks.
