My name is Katelyn and I am the proud tort mom of 3 beautiful Torts...
My first tortoise is Noah the Russian Tortoise. (Named after the notebook(; ) I purchased Noah from my local PetSmart on 1/17/2014. Recently, we discovered that the name 'Noah' no longer fits being as she is a female. We now call her Noahnn (pronounced No-Ann) until we find a better name to suit her feisty personality. The girl that sold me Noahnn at Petsmart told me that they don't sell females at all so I just took her word for it (Oops!)... that is, until I was better informed. She is 4 inches length-wise which (i was informed) means she is approximately 2 years old.
My Second tort I purchased via a Craigslist ad. I traveled 4 hours to pick him up on 1/28/2014. I was told that he is a 2 year old Greek Tortoise. They named him Moses, and we haven't changed it. I am his 2nd owner and sadly, the first owner took poor care of him. He has shell rot on the bottom of his shell on the inner part of both his back legs. He's slowly healing though, and I have seen progress since I've had him.
My big boy is named Bruce Wayne aka Batman he is a Sulcata. He was purchased via an ad on Craigslist as well. He is approximately 3 years old, and I am (supposedly) his 3rd owner. I got him 2/17/2014. When I got Bruce he was in poor health with an URI. ): He's better now though!
As you can tell I'm super new to owning Torts, but I'm eager to learn and to meet all 3 of their very different needs!
Thanks for reading!
