Hello from Colorado!

[ReptileSavvy]

Hi all!
My name is Amber and I am from sunny Colorado, but will hopefully be moving to Washington soon.

I currently have a Hermann's Tortoise, a Three-toed Box Turtle (Sasha) and a Ornate Box Turtle (Martha). The Hermann's still needs a name and I am also wondering male/female. I also have three dogs (Lucy, Xander and Rory), a Bearded Dragon (Teeto), three leopard geckos (Scully, Moose, and Arrietty), and a Mustang named Bilbo.

A few photos:

Hello and Welcome the the forum.

Your "hermanni" looks like Russian/Hosefield tortoise to me. How long you had them?? They all look nice and healthy.

 

[ReptileSavvy]

I have had Sasha for five years and Martha for three years. They are all rescued. I have had the Hermann's for a week or so. I wondered about that as well... She was turned into the animal shelter I work at.

Sorry that I forgot to Welcome you and all your reptile to the forum. Good to have you here. Thank God that people turn their pat tortoise and turtles to the shelter instead of release them in the wild. Also that you have the heart and space to rescue them. Benefit of working in a shelter. Right?

Thank you!! It is a wonderful to be able to do. "Saving the life of one animal may not change the world, but it will surely change the world for that one animal". I love my "kids". It is a perk especially since there are so many that need help. All my animals are rescues in one way or another.

It is entirely possible that the person I got her from didn't actually know. I believe you if you say that she is a Russian not a Hermann's.
