Hi! I'm new to the site and I really like it here! I'm planning on getting a tortoise but I need some help with all the supplies and all that good stuff. Thanks!
Welcome to the Forum Well, you will need to determine what species of tortoise or turtle you are going to get...as that will help to get specifics....Generally, you will need a sufficient size and safe enclosure, UVA/UVB light and a heat source, substrate, and some type of dish or tile for food offerings and a dish of appropriate size for water.....and if a turtle, then you will need to know what type of turtle as some are largely aquatic while others like substrate and a swimming area....
Hey! Sorry I wasn't able to reply quick. I think i'll be getting a russian tortoise in a 50 gallon. I live in Connecticut for all you guys and you can just call me David if you want to! Thanks. ( I made this word page that shows all the stuff that I want to buy for my tank with the links to the items so I'll be posting that up sometimwe this week . See -ya.
Well David I hope you get that Russian and stay with us on here for as long as possible! this is a great site with a lot of kind and knowledgable people! Have fun!
