Hi, Beginner, No Tortoise, But Soon To Get One!!!

[antmantis1]

[/font]Hello There! I am new around here! No wise tortoise yet!
But Hopefully in a couple of weeks (like two weeks) I will have one!
The species of tortoise I am interested in getting is.... (drum roll plz)
A Russian Tortoise! I have been researching the russian tortoise for the past month and love them. And over the course of a year have fallen in love with these prehistoric creatures. I have always been around turtles but have never had my own! So I decided I could commit to one. And Russian's who stay relatively small were perfect for me! since I live in Southern Pennsylvania He will be housed in doors! Thanks for giving me time to speak about my new hobby.
I hope to make many friends and speak to alot of people!

Hi antmantis1:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like for us to call you?

You've made a good choice. Russian tortoises are good beginner tortoises (in my opinion).

Hello and welcome! Russians are super cute. I think that if I ever get another tort that it will be a Russian

Welcome! Have fun investigating your potential species of interest. As others have said, it's very helpful to have a setup ready prior to obtaining the tortoise(s).
