I am back!

[bholmes88]

I doubt many will remember me, I used to post a bit back in 2012-2014. I was always more of a lurker though! I had two sulcatas, three leopards, a redfoot and a russian. I say had because long story short, I got married and moved into a new place with my wife. We stayed there that night and the very next day I went back to finish packing and to pick up my tortoises only to find out someone had taken all of them. They had cut through the padlocks on the tops of their outdoor enclosures. I posted fliers and went door to door but no one admitted to or knew anything. I stopped coming to this forum because to be honest it hurt too bad to see old pictures of them and to see everyone elses tortoises. Here it is year later and I finally feel ready to get back into the thick of it! I have missed this forum quite a bit!

Thank you everyone! Yea it was definitely tough, something I am determined never to go through again! She isn't as excited as I am, she is more of a furry pet type person, haha.

Welcome back. That is terrible news about your tortoises. Glad to know you are back.

 

[bholmes88]

I plan on getting a leopard for now and eventually getting some sulcatas once I am better situated for tortoises.

Welcome back, that is so devastating about the torts. Someone needs to design a miniature tracking device for torts that can be turned on if lost or stolen. The technology is there.

Congrats on marriage.
