Hello from Washington State!

[1shortblogger]

Hello everyone! My name is Lindsey. My SO and I will be getting a little female CB Russian Tortoise around the end of August, and we couldn't be more excited. I am from the Seattle area and was lucky to find a breeder nearby that we can go pick up our little one. I will probably have lots of questions but the breeder is super amazing and has provided so much information!

A little about me. I have loved reptiles and bugs ever since I was young. I was the kid who at recess would watch the lady bugs and other bugs instead of playing. I have had one other Russian Tortoise that passed away and have been wanting another ever since. I identify as a massive nerd, so feel free to talk nerdy! (I think I convinced my SO that our little girl will be named Hermione Haha!)

I look forward to getting to know you all and showing off our little one once we get her

Hello and welcome

We have some great care guides here written by species experts working hard to correct the outdated information widely available on the internet and propagated by many pet stores and, sadly, some vets and breeders too.

It's great that you decided to join TFO. You can learn from others and also share your knowledge. I think it'll be awesome to have another go-to person withbug related questions
