hello! Wemakegreatpets here. From Chicagoland. I’m no stranger to exotic pets. I keep cichlids in a huge aquarium and have been a fishkeeper for around 13 years? Currently keep a 75 gallon aquarium with angels, Bolivian rams, a blood parrot and different small species of catfish!
My interest in torts began with my ex boyfriend. Last time I visited (we’re good friends now) he had adopted a rescue tortoise, not sure which type. Reggie, his tort, was THE SWEETEST GIRL.
I’m currently on vacation in Florida and yesterday met a sweet gopher tortoise, an endangered type, on the beach. Buddy walked right up to me probably looking to eat my toes and allowed gentle pets on his/her head. This sparked my interest again. What if I got a pet tortoise? And now the last 24 hrs I’ve been doing my research! I have an awesome and reputable fish and exotic pet store at my service. I also have a large extra room in my house, southern exposure so nice and warm, for an enclosure.
Anyway, thanks for any welcomes and tips!
