First Tortoise

[Tortlove8208]

Hi, my name is Victoria and I am a pre-vet student living in south Florida. I recently got an 8 month old Sulcata tortoise at my local Repticon. He or she (not sure of a name just yet) is healthy and active and I aim to keep them that way. I've been reading the forum and gathering useful information but I thought it might be time to introduce myself. So, hello, and as a new tortoise owner I look forward to the wealth of knowledge and experience that this community has to offer!

Welcome to the Forum, Victoria!

Are you specializing, or just general veterinary? We could sure use a few more tortoise vets.

Hi and welcome. The food dish says Keiller , I thought that would make a cute name

Tom: Thank you! I will definitely check those threads out

Yvonne: I haven't decided if I'll specialize yet but I would love to be able to treat a large range of species from exotics to large animal

Hello and Welcome. I can see your popularity sky-rocking in this forum if you decide to be specialized in Torts.

But we still very happy that we have a vet here. Welcome! ! !
