Sup, im new to these forums...obviously ...about me...I live in the North West , Im NEW to tortoise caring, and i still havent purchased one yet :3...I want to learn as much as i can before getting a tortoise ...Since i was in Kindergarten ive been wanting a turtle. Then i decided a tortoise would be better for interacting with, so im going for a Sulcata or Leopard tortoise :3. I want a Leopard or Sulcata because i want I want my first tortoise to be my life long tortoise :3 also because i want a tortoise that i can easily see, take out and about (to the park or something), and make the house feel more occupied :3 This is going to be my FIRST tortoise/turtle...reptile for that matter...not sure how difficult a tortoise would be to take care of, so im studying all that i can, then gonna buy the proper equipment for a tortoise, then finally buy the tortoise himself :3 I want to have him by Christmas if possible :3

Hi WIRLYWIRLYPOOL:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

When you say the "northwest" do you mean U.S.? We have many members who live in the North West of the UK. And some members in the North West of France.

Do you have space outside for a tortoise? I'm glad to see that you're learning about them and their care before you take the plunge. Its a big responsibility and there's quite a bit involved with tortoise care.

Have a good time reading our posts and good luck with your search!

May we know your name?

Welcome to the Forum!

Sulcatas ROCK! ...and if you have a 1 acre yard, you got more than enough space for a Sulcata!

...HOWEVER... before you chose a Sulcata, you should take the Sulcata Challange http://turtlerescues.com/sulcata_challenge.htm . You want "Life Long" pet... try a multi-generational pet!
