Hi from South Carolina

[onefish]

Hi, I became a tortoise admirer last month when my I visited my friend in Arizona. She forced me to look at some baby Leopards in a pet store and I was hooked.

I haven't got a tortoise yet; I've been doing my research to pick the best one for my area's climate. I'm leaning towards a Redfoot, it should do well outdoors during the summer, and we'll just have to find the space for a tortoise table indoors during winter.

Can anyone recommend good info sites and good sites/ people to purchase young tortoises from? I found tortoiseyard.com and it looks like its run by someone responsible and conscientious.

It should be awhile before I make any kind of purchase; I'd like to have both indoor and outdoor enclosures ready before the tortoise gets here.

Welcome! Those little leopards caught you up in their sweet magic well didn't they? Glad you found your way here.

We have several very good redfoot breeders in here.

Hello and welcome to the forum... We do have several members on here that breed redfoot tortoises...

Hello and Welcome! This site is wonderful and offers a plethora of information. I would look on the forum under the specific species you are looking for (redfoot) and even find some breeders. I'm sure they too have a lot of information/care sheet to provide to you and how to get started on your setup. Also, you could try placing a wanted ad on here as well.

Hello and welcome.


Sooooooo, how many fish do you have?

2 Oranda goldfish in a 55 gallon aquarium.

Onefish refers to a couple things, but mainly Dr. Suess' "One Fish, Two Fish; Red Fish, Blue Fish." I joke that that's how goldfish keeping ends up.
