True: they may not mean to be rude, however one should think before one talks. Know what I mean?I too have felt some comments sounded rude on this forum. I don't believe that they are trying to be. Most information that I've read is accurate on raising healthy torts. We hope that you stay and enjoy this site. You'll find no better knowledge about tortoises anywhere else, I assure you.
One thing that will help every new member, is to read the stickies on there particular species. That will help answer alot of the questions that people first ask.
Anyway, welcome you and your tortoises to the forum.
@wellington please do NOT take this personal; I do not mean you. OK?
