Hey all!!
Decided to register and introduce myself. Ever since I got my little hard-shelled friend I have came to this forum for literally allllll of my concerns.
I have a now 6 month old Hermanns Tortoise named Chelóna. That’s how you say Tortoise in Greek. She’s the greatest thing to ever come into my life!
we live in Upstate NY and she has adapted so well. Her favorite things so far include wearing more calcium powder than she consumes lol and meal time! She does not enjoy bath time.
Have a good night everyone and I can’t wait to keep in touch!!!

Hahah that's Greek, just on an english keyboard. Lol "μπορείς να μιλάς ελληνικά? ειμαι ελληνας" is what I had said with the Greek keyboard. I feel like there aren't as many Greeks around here, especially on the forum, so I got excited when they named their tortoise a Greek word.
