New to forum, no tortoises yet

[FLGirl41]

Hi everyone! Thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking on the forum for some time and really enjoy reading people's posts. I've always been into turtles and tortoises, and I have an adopted loggerhead musk turtle. I don't have any tortoises yet; however, I've been fervently researching and trying to decide among multiple species. Four (!) of my coworkers have leopard tortoises!

I live near a zoo that houses multiple tortoise species. After watching them at length, I've decided that redfoots are the species for me. I have a large backyard and hope to eventually have a colony of several redfoots. I'll start with 3-4 hatchlings to grow out, and who knows how many will show up as the years go by. i have several other reptiles, some fish, and two dogs as well. Hi everybody!

Hi & welcome! Whatever you decide please post pictures!!!

Thank you for the welcome, everyone! I look forward to getting my redfoots and I'm already trying to design their backyard habitat in my mind. i am lucky to live in a warm climate, but will surely need to house them inside at least until they get larger.

That depends, they can be out above about 60.
