Hi all,
My name is Aaron and I have been a long-time lurker on this forum. I recently graduated from university and am in the Virginia area but I am originally from the good ol' Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I also LOVE tortoises and most herps and I spent a lot of my undergraduate work doing salamander research in the Blue Ridge Mountains which also has a ton of Eastern Box Turtles!
I am big supporter of the US captive breeding program and I am finally looking to have my own tortoise once again! I had a Russian Tortoise named Soldier (pictured in my icon) for 5 years before I one day lost him--to what I think was a bird of prey?? Long story short, I left my tortoise unwatched for a bit too long and I think something took him. I was crushed. That was my senior year of high school and I have since moved to Virginia and done some growing up.
I am now looking to adopt a red-footed tortoise and just wanted to say hello, great to meet y'all.
