Hi I live in Michigan and I am going to be a tort owner, very soon. I like the Hermanns, Russian or Golden Greeks the best. I am still researching on care and housing for my tort and this forum has lots of experienced owners and helpful information-Thanks

Hi Sac5:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like us to call you?

I'm glad to see that you're doing your research before getting the tortoise. Way to go!!

Hello, you can call me Sherry. Thanks for the welcome. My first question-is it really safe to buy a baby tortoise online if the company sounds reputable?

 

[Yvonne G]

Hi Sherry:

Yes it is. You'd be surprised how well they come packaged. And they over night them, so there's usually no danger of the baby getting too cold or too hot. You must plan to be home to receive the package.

What kind of baby are you interested in? We have some folks here who raise different kinds of tortoises.
