Hi everyone, what a fascinating forum! Thank you for excepting me and I look forward to learning everything I need to know about raising a tortoise. I live near Gettysburg Pennsylvania and have been a turtle lover my whole life. I recently lost my aquatic turtle, Hank Jr, I had him for 19 years! It's always been a dream to have a tortoise or several roaming my backyard, but life (and other pets) always got in the way. Now my goal is to learn everything I need to know about tortoises and eventually add some to my home. I'd like to have an indoor enclosure for the winter and an outdoor enclosure for the summer. So I've been enjoying looking at everyone's enclosures on this forum. I'm a lifelong gardener and I take pride in my backyard, the only thing missing is a tortoise or two roaming around!
