Tortoise-world Forum

Just thought I would say Hi,to everyone.My real names Dave and I'm not that Speedy
We are about to start keeping our first tortie and looking for as much good information we can find.
As a newbie,I'am finding lot's of conflicting advice on housing,substates etc.
So hopefully members on here will be able to guide me along the right path.
I will now scan the forum for answers to my newbie questions,don't want to bore people if they have already been dealt with.

Hi Speedy!

Be sure to ask as many questions as you can- it's a bit dead here at the moment and I seem to be the only one replying to any threads!!

How did you find the forum/site (just out of interest)

I bet you're excited about getting your first tortoise, it is a very exciting experience!

Hi I was just searching around the net and Googled Tortoise forums, after visiting others,but not signing up.
I'm sure things will get busy,once more people find it.
I'm excited about the new to be arrival and I'm busy trying to make sure I learn as much as possible, so as to be able to do things right.

That's such a refreshing thing to hear (that you are revising before getting a tortoise) too many people just buy them willy nilly without research!

I think any animal we are blessed to care for, deserves the best care we can give.
I agree lots of people let the heart rule the head and go about things the wrong way.
Buy first and ask or regret later.
