Hello everyone!! I am new here and live in the Upstate of SC. I have been a Herp lover all my life, starting with pet frogs when I was about 12. I have had reptiles and turtles as pets for most of my adult life, except for about the last three years......fast forward......20 year old daughter moves back home from college campus to be a commuter student and gets a job at the local big chain pet store (the smart one.....lol) and brings home an ailing beardie baby for me to help her nurse.......now there has been an explosion of my love for Herps again!!!!
I have always wanted tortoises, but was just never in a "place" to get one. Well, I have recently acquired two hatchling Leopard Tortoises after agonizing over what kind I would really love to have. (directly from two differrent breeders) I have been studying and planning for months, even brainstorming a large outdoor enclosure for hopefully a small group, even though that will be a few years off....lol
I am really glad I found this place!! I have been reading and reading and reading here, and I have learned a LOT!! (Always something new to learn!!)
ETA: I still have two RES also.....they have been with me for about five years. I also have three Bearded Dragons...two from breeders, one rescue from the smart place.....and three Leopard Geckos.
