My name is Caitlin, and I just joined.

Currently, I have no tortoises, but I do have all of the supplies left over from a Hinge-back tortoise I had for one day and one day only, because the pet store failed to inform me that it had a respiratory disease(she was bubbling at the mouth. They knew she was sick, you could tell by the way they picked her up and asked each other, "think she's still alive?"), and it died over night. Well now that I've learned my lesson and am not going to buy another reptile from them again, I'm left tortoise-less until the end of August. I'm planning on adopting a Red Foot Tortoise, hopefully a cherry head.

Just wanted to say hi.

Caitlin, welcome to the forum. It's a shame some petstores are willing to sell ill animals. Sorry to hear you lost your first so quickly. I also suggest Turtletary.com (Terry) has great advice and great followup on his little ones.
Again, welcome.

Hi Caitlin! So sad hearing about the loss of the Hingeback. I do hope they atleast refunded your money. I think you will enjoy the Redfoot more then you would have the Hingeback.

Thanks fer the warm welcomes. ^.^

Yes, they refunded my money, and the manager said that if we plan on buying a RFT from them, he would try and give us a discount.
