Another Texan tortoise owner...

[ThatDamnSasquatch]

Hello all. Just purchased my first two tortoises (yearling cherry head redfoots) and built their enclosure after much research. Excited about my new adventure as a long term tort owner and wanted to join the community to utilize others knowledge and experience as well as be a resource to others.

Have plenty of questions I will be posting shortly to begin refining my new owner strategy.

Thanks and Gig'em.

You can call me Kyle.

Texas, such an ideal place for torts. See up here in NH, we only have a two month period appropriate for torts outside living.

Yeah, but sometimes it gets too hot. Currently around 100 during the days and 78 at night. However mine get misted twice daily and have a home that is in the shade for the whole day other than from 9-10am, so they should weather the Texas summer well.

Hi Justin:

Won't you take a few moments to start a new thread in the "introductions" section and tell us a bit about yourself?
