Hi there! My name is Michele and I am new to the tortoise world. I have a grown daughter that has been rescuing tortoises in central Texas for several years, and two friends that own large, rescued Sulcatas (almost 100 pounds each), so I have been around tortoises for some time. I am now retired and living in Myrtle Beach, SC...and have been considering getting a tortoise of my own. I am in the research/decision stage right now because I want to make sure that I choose the best fit for my situation. I love to build/construct things...so I would enjoy creating an enclosure, and I also have plenty of outdoor space available for a tortoise once it outgrows an indoor space. I welcome any information, tips, etc from all of you! I am mainly considering a Sulcata or Russian at this point based on my research and my friend's advice and experience....but am willing to consider others as well. Looking forward to being a part of this community!
