Hi Group!

[TiminOhio]

Just joined... I'm a father of two, my daughter (age 17) and I are looking to getting our first 'turtle'. I'm currently in the research phase and filthering through the various species.

Will most likely get a Russion due to it's projected size, heartyness and the climate that I live in (NorthEast Ohio).

I plan on constructing a tort table and in the spring build an outside pen (similar to a raised garden).

If anyone has any suggestions and/or recommendations on finding a baby Russion, feel free to contact me.

Thanks.

Hi Tim:

Welcome to the Forum!

A Russian tortoise is a good choice for a 'first' tortoise!
