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.

If you scroll to the top of the page, under the site name, it says welcome Mewr428 , click "user CP" then on the left of the page it brings you to click "change signature" add in whatever u'd like there

EDIT: Oops guess a couple of people got to it before me, lol

thank you to everyone who answered the question lol. everyone on here is so helpful. i love it! i can tell that all of your animals are spoiled!

did i do mine right? i have a male cat, female cat, and female dog.

 

[TortieLuver]

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

 

[JohnathanO]

almost got it

 

[Mewr428]

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

 

[dmarcus]

I hope to add a couple more when I get a bigger house..

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

 

[Mewr428]

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

 

[dmarcus]

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.

 

[Mewr428]

Johnathan0: thats so sad that you cant see your little guys, cant they bring them up to you to see them?

thats so great that everyone treats them like family. its so nice to hear about how loving everyone is towards their animals on here.

 

[JohnathanO]

Well, I have 2 upstairs with me, and they bring the others up to me every so often, so that makes it a bit better.

 

[Mewr428]

Thats good at least. Did the 2 come upstaires just to be with you, or are they normally up there?

 

[JohnathanO]

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.

 

[Mewr428]

yeah that sounds very relaxing to watch them. I just realized you are in Canada. It must be cold there. I will switch with you haha. come enjoy the 90 degree weather. what are your tort's names?

and anyone else that reads this, what are your tortoise's names?

 

[dmarcus]

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!
