Hi, i'm newbie!!!

[Tumi]

Hi everybody, my name is Tumi. I come from Viet Nam. I kept tortoise 5 years ago. In Viet Nam, don't have veterinarian for tortoises and very few people keep tortoises, because they're afraid of unlucky. I'm not good at EngLish and i use translate.google.com to communicate with every one. But I love tortoise so much, i want to keep and take care of tortoise. I have two tortoises, they are sort of elongated tortoise (Indotestudo elongata), one male and one female. Her name is Su Su and his name is Sam Sam. I send you a picture about Su Su and pleased to meet you!!!

Hi Tumi, and welcome to the Forum!

Would it be possible for you to build a safe and secure outdoor habitat for Su Su and Sam Sam? They would like living outside where they can get sunshine and fresh air (and lots of space to move around).

Hi!! *waves* Even if what you post does not come out perfect, we will understand it well enough, so do not let it stop you from posting. Heck, especially now I am using a "smart" phone, I write some very strange messages. Just so glad your here. What does their outside area look like?

In Morocco tortoises are good luck, but geckos are bad luck.
Just culture, I'm sure we on this forum love them all

I take care SuSu 5 years ago. But i don't know how old is she. 5 years ago, she is a length of 6.6 inch. so how can I know how old is she?

The only way to know how old a tortoise is is to know what day they hatched.

Your tortoise is very pretty. Do you have a picture of the other one also? We love pictures around here.

This is a picture of Sam Sam. I bought Sam Sam last Sunday. he is male and pigeonhearted. I'm going to buy tree for their house in this afternoon. In Viet Nam, if you nourish tortoise, it's violation of the law. Because, tortoises are wild animal. But I love tortoises so much. I want to take care them.

 

[leigti]

He is pretty also. Do you plan on breeding them? What does pigeon hearted mean?
