Hello To All, I'm A Newbie Tortoise Owner

[kenzmorg95]

Hey!
I just bought a Russian Tortoise, and I love him! I'm new to caring for tortoises so any tips and now to keep my tortoise happy and healthy would be great. I'm kind of a worrier so I will probably have lots of questions to ask!

Welcome to the Forum. Is your new tortoise an adult or hatchling?

Welcome to the Forum. Is your new tortoise an adult or hatchling?

I believe that it is a adult. I will attach a picture. His name is Lloyd, he has a little bit of dry skin but I heard if you bath them everyday then it will go way. I only had him for two days!

Such a true statement....I'm just reaching my 1year of having mine and kinda thinking about getting another.

Hey! I'm a newbie myself! So I'm probably as excited as you are! And yes, totally a worrier with tons of questions already!

Will do Grampa Turtle 144, I'll be careful. Not gonna jump into getting right away, still learning, plus mine just went threw a sick spell recently and it kinda scared me that maybe I wasn't doing something right. All good now.

I'll have ta say I sure enjoy watching her...just walk around, eating, climbing....got so many pictures.
