Hello! My name is Monica and I'm sooooo new to this whole tortoise thing, but so far I'm really enjoying it. My family and I purchased a red foot, Hector, from the pet store last week. After reading some posts on here, I'm wishing I went with a breeder but he's really cool and has his first vet appt on this week just to make sure all is well. We recently had a russian, Claire, and she died last week. She was diagnosed with a herpes virus. The next day she died and it was very traumatic for my step-son therefore we went and got Hector who seems to be a pretty awesome little guy. Anyway.... I hope to learn many many things from this forum!
