Hi, new here

[The Adjustor]

Hello all, I just got a baby golden greek tortoise at the Tucson reptile expo yesterday so I thought I'd sign up here in hopes of learning as much as I can about my new tortoise. His name is Hercules, he is about 4 or 5 months old and weighs 34 grams. I have done a lot of research already, but I'm wondering if theres any recommended reading for greek tortoises that you might suggest for me? I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Yes this is my first tortoise, though I also have a 1 year old green iguana so I'm not entirely new to reptiles. I belong to another reptile forum and i'm well aware of the demand for pics lol, unfortunately I moved recently and lost my camera charger! So you guys might have to make due with cell phone quality pics for a little while I'll get right on it.

Yeppers, all the reptile forums and no doubt all animal forums are always wanting pictures. They help us to live vicariously thru others. So much cheaper that way. No pressure on the pictures.
