Heya, just wanted to introduce myself...

Name is Timothy, I'm 25 years young, and I've been infatuated with Herpetology as long as I can remember.

I've been an avid turtle nerd for about just as long :)

I've kept my fair share of three toed box turtles as well as a few alligator snapping turtles / common snapping turtles.

I just recently purchased a 2011 CB redfoot tortoise from Jay at turtlesandtortoises.com

I've been scanning the forum for 2 weeks it seems getting info on their needs as well as doing research on the species itself. ( BTW I love the turtletary site )

anyway, I'll be taking some photos of my new room mate as soon as I can, still letting him adjust to shipment / new digs. He is eating well and seems to be enjoying his new digs.

anyway, love the forums. much fun to be had scanning through various threads.

Rolo looks very good. Would love to see a few clearer close ups of your little one when you get a chance. Also do you know it's weight and length?

No I do not, I'm guessing I can use the same scale as I do for my leopard geckos? Length I'll have to measure him in the morning. when I received him I noted that he still had his egg tooth, I e-mailed the seller and was told that he was born 3 weeks ago, I've had him for two weeks so I'm guessing its only 5weeks old.
