Hi everyone! My name is Katie and I'm from the Sacramento, CA area. I have no tortoises as of yet, but do have eight children (ages 4 months, 1, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 18), two dogs, and two cats.
I am hoping to get a tortoise in the not too distant future.
At first I was all gung ho, "I want a Sulcata!" but, after I calmed down a bit, realized that between the climate here, the lack of ample yard space, and the dogs meant that it is not in the best interest of the Sulcata for it to live here, so now am doing my research as to what tortoise would be the best fit for my family, location, land availability, etc.
I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge and wisdom from those that know what they are talking about and hopefully finding the right tortoise for us!
