[Redfootedboxturtles]

Just wondering if there where any tortoise keepers my age on the forum. I am 24.

My Guyana redfoot males might be close { as young } to your age.

This time in 1969 I was your age Bro! Does that count?

Thats cool. It is awesome to see a couple younger people getting educated about tortoise care. Sort of like the next generation of keepers and breeders.

Jasso do you breed those russian tortoises? I have a couple of really nice females. What do you do for a living? I own a pest control and landscape company's down in Florida.

Josh I forgot we where the same age. You are still working towards your college degree right? What is it going to be in?

Terry, I think your facial hair is as young as me too. = )


I also own tortoises that are older then me. I feel a weird expanded sense of responsibility about caring for them.

lol sorry! I figured 18-25 was a good bracket. Its awesome to know there are so many young adults who are into tortoises. I dont really know any in person.

So lets get to know each other a little bit. What do you all do ? What kinda torts do you have? Any other hobby's besides tortoises?

 

[stells]

[tortoise.tot]

i'm only 18 & getting into tortosies hardcore. my boyfriend is almost 22.
we have one already, adopting another, & possibly getting my english teacher's turtle or tortose.
he's not sure what it is. i haven't seen it so i don't know either.
my teacher found it sitting on his front pourch & put it in his back yard.
his yard is like a jungle & leonotis is very small. about a 5 inch plastron.
so we haven't found him yet.
& he just moved from that house. so he'll be informing the new family & hope that they find him.

Hey Red,

I guess I will start. LOL I own and operate a 4 house turkey farm and grow Butterball turkeys. I own 37 acres, but am hoping one day to expand that acreage.

I own a breeding group of cherryhead redfoot tortoises that produced hatchlings for me. My group is 1 male and 3 females. I have 3 hatchlings of my own and 2 hatchlings from NERD. I also have 5 dogs, eight cats and 1 maliuromastyx not to mention 41,000 turkeys. We are hoping to have some goats and sheep before to long also.

I guess my other hobbies would include reading. I just started reading alot about 2 years ago and now I go through books as if they were candy. LOL I love paranormal!

Well, guess that is it. Anyone else?
