I'm so excited that I can finally be a part of all this!

First off, I don't have a tortoise...yet!! I've been bugging my parents for two months, and I think I'm starting to wear them down :) My mom's saying is, "As long as I don't have to touch it." My dad is the one I really have to work on, but I think I might go to an Expo in October, and that's really my only chance to get one. It would be an indoor tortoise, and I still don't know what breed to get, but I'm researching into all of them so if the Expo only has a small selection I will be prepared for anything! :D

THANKS FOR LETTING ME BE ON HERE!!!!

Hi and welcome! So not planning on having an outside enclosure for it during the warm months, when it is older (if you get a hatchling)?

I have thought about it, and it may be a possibility, but only in the distant future. My dad isn't necessarily...how should I say..as "open-minded" as I am, so I think I would have to house it inside for maybe a year, and then bring it up as an option.

Hello and Welcome.:) with winter just around the corner a hatchling would have to stay inside anyway. However, you do need to work on pops before summer. The little guy/gal really should be able to go outside for fresh air and good ole sunshine when the temps are right. Even if its for a couple hours a day. Good luck. Tell your parents you found us and that we will help you in any way possible should you need it.
