Hello! I'm excited to be here!

[Newo13]

My name is Dana and I'm from New Orleans, LA. I have a three year old red eared slider named Kurtle and a one year old anery milk snake named Sweeney Todd. My fiancee is finally agreeing with me to get a tortoise! We want one that doesn't get too big and right now I'm thinking about a Russian or Greek. I don't want to rush into anything because I want to know as much as I can about them before I get one. When I do I think I'll name him Gilbert, like from What's Eating Gilbert Grape!

Something tells me you like Johnny Depp! I liked both those movies too.

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum, Dana!! Either one of those choices would be a good first tortoise for you...and good for you! to be doing your research prior to getting the tortoise.

Hello and welcome. You are in the perfect area for a redfoot. They don't get all that much bigger than a Greek.

This is my RES Kurtle. He's so cute when he's sleeping
