Hello tortoise lovers!! First things first.. My name is Danielle, I am 23 years old and I reside in southern Arizona. Woooohooo heat! (Complete sarcasm!)
Anyways, I LOVE animals. All types. I have owned just about every type of reptile possible. Currently I own a bearded dragon, a ball python, a tarantula, a sun conure, and my two perfect amazing and adorable dogs. Oh and a huge fish tank with dinner plate sized Tiger Oscars in it
I decided to join this forum because wait for it...wait.......a little more... Ok drum roll... IM FINALLY ADOPTING A TORTOISE!!! Ahhhh! My dream! I just love their cute little old grumpy grandpa faces and their cute little tortoise butts. I am driving 2 hours to go pick him up this coming Saturday.
He was abandoned at my friends work and she took him home to try and find somebody who can give him the good life and proper care that he needs. And that person just so happens to be me!!
He is a redfoot tortoise, and she tells me his shell is about 8 inches in length. I have no clue on his health condition, I'm assuming he's probably going to need some TLC and a vet visit seeing as his previous owners just abandoned him. They probably did not provide proper care. I feel like if they did they wouldn't have treated him as garbage by leaving the poor guy in a box on the doorstep of a building.but who knows. (Ugh some people make me sick
So yea! That's why I joined this awesome forum full of what looks to be so many cool fun nice and knowledgeable people who can help me with my new little guy (or girl) once I pick him up on saturday!
I look forward to speaking to each and every one of you and making lots of new friends!
