Hi Everyone,

I've been enjoying the posts and learning more than I thought imaginable. We are owned by a Leopard tort named Tank who came to us nearly a year ago because he was no longer wanted. He enjoys outdoor living in a large pen with a heated enclosure in the Central Valley of California. I'm looking forward to learning more and enjoying the commaraderie of other tort keepers.

Hi Sandy: I'm located in Central California too. Your leopard was lucky to have found you! Can't imagine why someone would get tired of keeping such a pretty tortoise! Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Yvonne! He looks better now then he did - they wanted a swimming pool instead of him....so I'm the lucky one.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words of welcome for Tank and me. We live in a rural area on nearly two acres in CA and decided we should double Tank's outdoor enclosure. While in the process of doing that, we decided we have room and desire to add a second Leopard tortoise to our family - so if anyone has any recommendations where best to find, adopt, buy one, let me know. Thanks!

Hi Sandy! Having lived there at one time, California is certainly a tortoise friendly environment. Your tortoise is lucky to have you. Glad you've joined.

Hello and welcome to TFO!!! You have a cute tort there!!

Tank has a very handsome shell. Bet they get bored with the pool, before you do with Tank.
