Hello,

I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Fred Landry, from Florence, SC. I have been raising tortoises and turtles for over 30 years and my son turned me on to this website. I'm recently retired and I am becoming more active with this hobby. My son and I are planning to start a breeding operation over the next few years, maybe even a website, but he'd be in-charge of that.

Over the years I've kept numerous species of tortoises and turtles. I currently only have stars, sulcatas, leopards. But I'm looking forward to getting an aldabra or two or three for the farm.

I look forward to reading through this forum and communicating with other tortoise enthusiasts.

Sincerely,
Fred Landry

Thank you for the kind words.

My son is not a member but has followed the board. He helps me with the "tech" side of things.

He says he'll put up pictures once our website is established.

Thanks again, and I look forward to future conversations with tortoise enthusiasts.

Fred
