Hey Everyone

Hey there. My name is Brandon. I have recently become avidly obsessed with the world of tortoises. I have a 125 gallon tank i recently aquired. I am putting together all of the goodies for a hermann's tortoise. I am really excited! I have doing my homework like crazy for the past three months, but I would love to hear suggestions on substrates hidy places and all that good stuff! It feels great to be on the forums, and i look forward to meeting some fellow enthusiasts!

Hi Brandon and welcome to the world of tortoises and the best tortoise forum there is! So do you have a certain Hermann in mind?

Welcome!
I'd love to see your enclosure once it's done! I'm actually thinking of getting a hermann in the near future

Hey there! I am located in Barre, VT. And yes, that is me in my new tank. It is a 125 gallon, i just picked it up today. Looking at a couple of different options for tortoises. Im REALLY liking the hermann's and the golden greeks.

Thanks again for the welcomes! Posting some updated pictures soon. Got the substrate in (aspen), and the hidy hut. I'm pretty confident in what I'm doing thanks to everyone on the forums! I learned more here than in any book
