Hello all!

Hello all!

I am getting a Red-footed tortoise, that should be arriving next week Tuesday. I personally am quite excited about it. I have wanted one for quite some time.

I have been a huge reptile fan my entire life. Although, this will be the first one that i have had in about 2 years. My last reptile I had was an iguana. We ended up having to get rid of it after having it for about 7 years, due to the fact we didn't have enough time for it. So, I am pretty familiar of how much effort it takes to own tougher types of animals.

For the name, I am still undecided between what I should name it. I am stuck between two names. Tyson and Nora. They are both very appealing to me. Does anyone have any opinions?

I will be uploading pictures as soon as I receive him. I will be looking forward to seeing everyone's tortoise as well!

PS: Does anyone have any tips or anything that will help keep him healthy with a nice smooth looking shell?

Hello and Welcome. I vote for Nora. On,y becuase Tyson reminds me of Mike Tyson and I really don't like that person.
Take a read of the tortoiselibary.com. It's a members site and great RF info
