Hi, my name is Ashlynn, some of you have had contact with me before but i stopped getting on here for a while but hey! now i'm back!
I've been looking to own a little fella of my own for a long time Now, I adore tortoises and turtles and have always wanted one. I always get on this tick where for about 3 weeks i do nothing but research and look around at videos, pictures, articles, and care for tortoises because I really want one and then i stop but i always come back. I usually stop because I know i need to save money to buy one along with the proper care and i believe that I need to research more. However i always get right back to it within like 2 weeks and I Think I really need to take the step and get one. so I'm here to ask for some advice.
As for right now I can only handle one of the small species of tortoise because i live with room mates and do not have a house of my own so i can not allow the little guy to go roaming the house whenever he/she pleases. i would really like some advice on cost for everything.. I also Live in Maryland and our weather is not always the best We have some really bad winters and harsh summers and lately we barely have a fall or spring it just skips right into the next season any one who doesnt know maryland climate, look it up. I'm also unsure of where to buy and aquire one. i know there are online stores, however i dealt with turteshack before and bought 3 baby red ear sliders and they died within a month (ALL OF THEM) which made me really sad. I Love turtles and tortoises and look forward to the time when I have my own house so that I can have my big aquarium tanks with some turtles and my own tortoise tables and enclosures so that i may have some of my own but for now im not that great on space so i'm looking to get one and start off small and shower some lucky little guy with love. and I want to know everything i can that way I can know what expenses will need covering and suplies that work best and such and so on.
