Hello from Louisiana

Just wanted to say hello. We just bought a Russian Tortoise female. We call her Mei and she is 3-4 years old our best guess. Doing a lot of research and learning every day. Mei is living in a plastic storage container for now but have a 8'x15' spot picked for outside. Looking at lots of pictures to get ideas.

Hi and welcome! How did you happen to decide to get a tortoise?

 

[d12bn]

I've wanted a tortoise since I was a kid. A friend posted a video on Facebook of his Russian tortoise and the next day we started looking.

Did you know the friend had the tortoise(s) before you saw the video?

 

[d12bn]

No he lives in another state. Now that you ask this started about 3 years ago when another friend posted on Facebook asking if anyone wanted a free RT. So I said I will take it. A few hours later she responded that her daughter changed her mind when she realised they were really going to give it away.
Then this past halloween another local friend posted that his tortoise was missing after someone left a gate open in his backyard. It ended well when his tortoise was found. This also had me thinking about getting one.
So thats the story leading up to getting Mei

Did you know the friend had the tortoise(s) before you saw the video?

Interesting story. I hope you will share pictures of Mei with us.
