Hello,
so this is actually my second post. My first post was a concern about my new baby sulcata toroise. We just got it, this past Friday. I am very glad I managed to find a forum, as I believe the best advice and todate information comes from forums.
About Me:
I am currently a SAHM (stay at home mom), but I use to be a pre-vet student in my last semester to go, a wildlife rehabilitator (mainly small mammals and birds), and an animal companion.
I currently have several corn snakes, two bearded dragons,a Min Pin, pet rats, and now the tortoise. Staying with some family members I also have 3 painted turtles that are 14yrs old. I have owned and cared for a variety of animals in the past.
I moved to Fort Wayne, IN last October, and last Christmas I saw a baby Sulcata Tortoise at a pet shop. I decided not to get it, as I didn't know anything about them. This year, I have researched them on and off, and when I saw a local pet shop get this one in.. We thought about it a week, then decided to get everything we needed for it, and then we got it. We have named it Franklin, but I don't know its gender..most likely it is a female (that would be my luck). Either way I am keeping the name, lol!
My brother and his family, also have one that they got in September from a reptile show. I can't wait to compare the two at Christmas!
Anyways.. Hello, and I look forward to reading and learning more about our tortoise! I'll try to post a picture later today, on this thread so that you can all see my little guy/gal.
Thank You!
