Hello Everyone,
My Name is Melissa. I just got my first tortoise 3 days ago and thought it would be a good idea to join a forum in case I have any questions or run into any problems along the way. My tortoise is named Short Round or Shorty for short. He/she is a leopard tortoise. I am not positive of Shorty's age because a co worker gave the little tyke to me (long story but in short... shorty needed a home). Shorty can't be to old tho because there is a little dried something on the bottom of his/her shell that looks kinda like a umbilical stub on a human baby.
Shorty is not the first tortoise i have cared for. I was a foster mom to a sulcata about 5 years ago. Tucker was turned into the animal rescue I volunteered with because he had a cleft pallet. I took care of him for almost a year. I am excited to now have a tortoise of my own. I have spent the last three days doing research online and on this forum. anyhow, I look forward to picking your brains and getting to know some of you
