Hello all! I'm Aimee, and my boyfriend Alex is also sharing this account. We just bought a leopard tortoise on Thursday. He's 6 months old. As of now, he's un-named, but we're hoping to decide on a name soon. He's sick right now (we think it's a resperatory infection - we're taking him to the vet this morning), so please have him in your thoughts!

Welcome Aimee and Alex to TFo
I have read your other post. I do hope your new shelled baby is fine.
I too have two in with RI. Scary and not fun but you did the right thing by taking it to the vet right away. Good luck with it and please keep us informed on its progress.

Glad to meet you, but really sad to hear you tort is already sick. What a rough introduction to the wonderful world of tort keeping. Hope he gets over it quickly.

Thank you Josh!

Glad to find a community of So.Cal-based tortoise fanciers to ask all my crazy newbie questions to.

Our new "baby" (well, she's not really a baby) is a lovely Afghan (Russian) teenage tortoise we named Farishta, and we're in the process of figuring out how to best care for her, so we'll be asking a lot of questions!

If anyone here is into music, please check out ours here:
www.myspace.com/theXilesmusic Farishta has become a fan already.

Hi! I have one desert tortoise named Ally who I've raised since she was a hatchling. I used to have another one named T-Rex, but she ran away. Ally is a little over three years old now.

Hi all...

My name's Ed... and I'm a Tortoholic. I also go by EJ (on those list who will allow and/or tolerate my company)

I just realized that I've been posting without properly introducing myself... that's kinda rude but it seems that I don't have a problem doing that even in a social setting. I've always thought my social skills have much to be desired.

Anyway I have umteen tortoises and as many other reptiles and amphibians including about 10 to 15 different species of tortoises.

I've been keeping herps for about 35 years now. They have always been an integral part of my life in addition to those that choose to associate with me (whose numbers seem to be dwindling as of late).

This looks like an interesting list that I thought I'd check out and I look forward to any exchanges in information.
