Thanks for the warm Welcome everyone. I see most people that Torts are from the west and south. I am in Ohio so I will be Challenged this winter to get my Buddy & Shellbe through it, specially since I am A newbie with them. Hope you all can guide me a bit. I do read and Study all I can but, the info is so back & forth. I am sticking with you all as I have learned your the Best to go to and get an Answer!! But I still need a Human for a bit of guidance. I do belong to my Torts and owe them the best Life has to offer in Captivity. This is the Baby Shellbe. I know I have to Will her over, That will be All Good

I live in Colorado and we have cold winters too if that's what your worried about. Lots of snow! I'm also new to the site and sadly don't own any tortoises yet. I'm hoping to adopt one in a month or two though so I'm on this site to get info. I was also worried about the winter for when I adopt my tort but I'm going to keep reading and try to find how to keep the torts nice and comfy. You're tortoises are adorable! Good luck!

It's not to hard to keep tortoises inside just have to give them a big space and other neccites. I live in North Dakota and do grow my own food indoors for them
