So I've only been a part of this forum for a few months, and I don't always chime in on the threads, but I am active on the site every single day. I found this when I was searching for help for my sick tort. I've kept turtles & tortoises for over 20 years, and even studied herpetology as a part of my biology degree. But I came here for help, and took in every piece of advice that was given, even though my case was very extreme and there wasn't a lot of experience with what I was asking. Long story short I wanted to thank all of the long time members for what you do every day. I don't want to be a creep and mention people, but you all know who you are lol. Those of you who welcome all the new comers, and answer (sometimes over and over again) the same questions every day but never get nasty or condescending. The reason for writing this is because I've been a part of 2 threads in particular where the people seeking advice have no interest in any of the advice given. So instead of continuing to get frustrated with those people, I figured I would come here instead to be positive and thank those of you who keep all the good and correct information going. You guys truly helped me get through a rough time as well as helped prepare me to give the best care possible when the time comes for my next tort. Thank you ❤
