Hello everyone..I have to say that I am very glad to find this forum and a place with active members involved and revolving around the awesome tortoise'. I wasn't looking for a forum, just some insight on her dry, cracking shell and I found some helpful information here about the temperature, the lighting and more insight to her new box I plan to upgrade this year. I stumbled across Mrs. T at a local pet store that I frequented weekly for saltwater stuff and crickets for our beardeds. She was an owner surrender to the pet shop...Lucky for me, It was love at first sight and I quickly brought her home, that was in 2007.
