Introduction

[Utah Lynn]

Hello. I'm Lynn Smith from Northern Utah. I'm 65 years old. I hope my Tortoise and Turtles will outlive me. My daughter recently made me the proud caregiver of Sherman, a Russian Tortoise. I have no idea how old he is. He's 4" long. Cute as a bug. I also have 2 Western Painted and 1 Yellow-Bellied Slider. I saved one from becoming road kill and quickly became the drop-off point for all unwanted turtles.
I am still studying about RT's looking for the best way to care for him properly. So far, after 2 months, all is going well.
I still have a great deal to learn.
I keep him inside except to let him roam outside when he's not sleeping. I don't have an enclosure for him outside. I prefer to keep my eyes on him while he travels.

Hi Lynn!! Welcome to the forum. You have picked the right place if you are looking to learn. Heck, you've picked the right place if you just want to talk about turtles and torts.

Hi Lynn, I am so happy to find someone from my home state that's joined this forum. I live in Salt Lake City. Where in Utah do you live?
Sherman is very cute and it seems like he has already captivated you. I would love to meet Sherman and you too.
