[attachment=65904Hello...

As my ID says, Lilly is my beautiful RT! She is new to the family, and I am a first time "tort mom", though I have been a turtle/tortoise lover my whole life (this has even bled over in my Facebook page as I scour the internet and post new pics and post them as "Daily turtle" pics:p)

My dear girl makes me smile everyday! Allow me to tell you a bit about her... She is nothing short of, well, awesome! She is in a large TEMPORARY rubbermade house (as I am looking for a bookcase to convert into a table for her). She is still very shy, though tonight while playing cards with my family playing a hand of SkipBo, she pooped, no doubt because we were winning! We had a very nice chat while folding laundry this morning, we decided on chicken for dinner (mine, not hers) and pink nail polish for toes is far better than red (again, mine not hers). By the end of the conversation, she was out of her room (her hide) and she was out of her shell looking at me. Baby steps, we have many many years together!!

I'm hoping that I can post a picture so you can see the most lovely RT in the universe... I'm convinced of it!!

Thank you for doing all of this... It will be a huge help I'm sure!

It was just time Tom... Pictures were just a gate way drug I guess, I'm on to the hard stuff!

What about you? Tell me about your first tort love...

Welcome to the Forum!

Love the Duck Dynasty mug. I gave my SIL a couple talking stuffed Duck Dynasty 'dolls' for Christmas.

I have to say the RT got a good hand.
