Proper Introduction Thread

[E27]

Hi! My name is Zac and I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I didn't quite get a chance to make an introduction thread since I had that turtle that I wasn't sure what to do with, but I decided to make one now.

I don't have any tortoises, but I do want one eventually. I've wanted one ever since I was little and got to take care of a couple of sulcata tortoises while their owner was out of town sometimes. They were so much fun. Big tortoises too. Anyway, one day, I would like a tortoise of my own. Preferably a Redfoot since they are smaller.

I don't know how much I'll post on here for now since I don't have a tortoise, but I really want to learn a lot before I eventually get one of my own. Thanks!

Welcome! And as stated this is a great place to get all the proper information you will need in preparation for your first tortoise. I would recommend a redfoot over sulcata for first time tort. Don't get me wrong I love mine and they are an amazing species but it is the largeness to take into consideration. They grow very fast too. Well welcome and ask any questions you have.

Yeah. That's the exact reason to why I want a Redfoot. They're smaller and need smaller enclosures, which is a benefit to me. Nothing against sulcatas, I think they're awesome, but the size is a bit of a detriment. I'll definitely be checking the classifieds often here for a redfoot. haha. I would just get one from a pet store but $150 is just too much for me. Thanks! I'll definitely ask questions if I have any.
