Hi everybody, my name is Cole. I'm from the Chicago suburbs. I have 2 leopard tortoises around 9 months old and a 13 year old sulcata named Marty. I'm by no means an expert and decided to join this forum to gain from everybody else's experiences.

I've replied twice to this thread with pictures of my tortoises and neither reply even showed up.

Hi Cole:

Like it says in the "introductions" section, a new member's first five posts have to be approved by a moderator before they show up. Sometimes a moderator isn't online at the same time as you post.

Well hopefully I won't be the new guy for too long. This seems like a very friendly and informative place.

Congratulations! You are now officially NOT the new guy!

Your big sulcata is a beauty. Did you raise him from a baby?

Yes I did, I got him when he was just a golf ball!

His shell isn't perfect but he seems to be very happy and healthy to me.
