Hey I'm A Newbie on The TortoiseForum

[TheRussianTortoise]

I'm a 13 year old guy from west virginia.
i have 1 russian tortoise that is a male named sheldon.
and a male box turtle named scotty.
i am very very knowledgeable on a few different species of tortoises.
i want to do something with tortoises and turtles in my lifetime. i wanna start breeding when i'm older and maybe have a shop that sells different tortoises? i also want to be a vetranarian. i have tons of friends on instagram and youtube who has helped me along this journey !
My instagram : @TheRussianTortoise

Just because i'm young, doesn't mean you can't take me seriously.
everyone who has just met me online thinks i'm 16-17 because i'm mature for my age. so plese treat me like you would like to be treated ! thank you

Hello and Welcome Most of us do try to treat everyone with respect and kindness. We have many members around your age. You should feel right at home here, I hope.

Hi and welcome. We really want to hear from you, and get your opinion on things. I believe you do know quite a bit about tortoises, but you'll learn a lot more here on the forum. As a side note, if you have a dog, plan on getting a dog, or allow people to bring their dog to your home, then you will want to read Tom's thread just below my name. Thanks.

Hi TheRussianTortoise, and welcome to the Forum!!

Something tells me that you haven't been treated very well on other forums. Please understand that we are not like that. Once in a great while we have a disagreement and it may get a bit sticky, but for the most part, everyone, no matter how young or how old, is taken seriously and treated fairly.
