Welcome Gary? Glad to have you joining us here at TFO.
So tomorrow is the big day huh? Have one all picked out or just know a place that has some? Hey be sure to met some nonreptile people once you move and turn them into tortoise folks. You may even make a few friends from here, so once you move you will already know folks in the area.

Welcome to the forum! Here are two forum threads that I found very useful when starting out... These were both put up by Tom who is on a mission to discover and spread knowledge about proper tortoise care. I recommend looking through his posts whenever you have questions. I hope they help!
