Hello, my name's Lydia, and I'm pretty new to Tortoise keeping. I originally got started with aquatic turtles a few years back (painteds, to be specific), and just started getting into tortoise keeping this year!
I currently have three redfooted tortoises, named Redmond Barry, William Thackeray, and Henry Longfellow (I might change his/her name and name my next snake that, instead LOL), each about 6 months old. Two were just recently purchased from the lovely Vicki Hale of the TortoiseYard.com website, and the other is from Marc Cantos, who owns TheTurtleSource.com (I had another tortoise, Barry Lyndon, who came from Marc, but he arrived with MBD and a slew of other problems and unfortunately passed away despite my best efforts... so I wouldn't recommend purchasing from that site).
I'm really into DIY projects, so you all should expect to start seeing some awesome building projects in the future, once I feel confident enough to move the tortoises out of their quarantine/baby setup and get them into an official tortoise table (if any of you own aquatics too, I'd be more than happy to show you how to build an ATBA :3)
Anyways, I look forward to getting to meet everyone here!
