On the top of you page click on user cp, then on the left of the next page under your profile click change signature and once you have it the way you want just press update.

Hello and it's a pleasure reading your posts. If you go to the top of the page, you will click on your user cp by the logout button. Click on cp, then scroll down to user profile and click on change signature. From there, you can put your name and other information that you would like others to know about yourself.

For the dog, it should be 0.1.0 since Maggie is female (male is first, then female, then unknown sex).

They bring a great amount of joy to ones' life!


They really do, I had knee surgery 2 and a half months ago, non weight baring for 3 months so I haven't been able to go downstairs to see my tortoises, and it kills me, I miss it so much. My mom and girlfriend have taken over the duties for now :)

Do you guys treat them like children? Do they all have their own rooms? lol

They are a part of the family. My 5 year old Sulcata has a outdoor enclosure that he stays in year round, only comes inside if it snows. My hatchling has an enclosure in my room but once he's big enough he will have an enclosure outside as well.

1 is always up here with me, the other I brought up just to be with me :)

I can't wait till the weather gets better so I can get them outside again. Its great to sit there watching your tort grazing away in the yard.

My big one is named Vegas because I am originally from Las Vegas and my 2 month old hatchling is named Tejas, the spanish name for Texas..

Hello and welcome,

I have several different Greeks and a couple of russians,
My Henri Testudo Greaca Greaca is small, they only grow to about 14/16 cm long, so are ideal for someone that hasnt alot of room.
They are pretty hardy little guys and easy to look after..

I have a russian tort and males are only supposed to get up to 6-8 inches which is relatively small. Mine is about the size of a large fist. I love him and I would recommend getting the same, or a similar type, for a beginner. All of the research online and in beginner books I have done has said that they are very common as pets. Good luck!
