Hello! reptile lover/new sulcata mama

[MelissaNicole]

Hello everyone!

I've been using this forum for so much research I figured it was about time I joined I've read all the care sheets and many many threads and I am so grateful I found this site! I grew up in a home where raising reptiles (and other animals) was the norm. I currently have 9 turtles, (two of which include a russian tortoise and my newest addition a sulcata tortoise) 3 bearded dragons, and a cat.
I am looking forward to chatting with people who have the same passion for these adorable animals as I do!!

Hello, Melissa, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and your menagerie.
As has already been not so subtly hinted at above, we love pictures here so would be keen to see some.
Enjoy the forum, it's great here.
