Hi Everyone, Im a new member to this site. I have found a lot of help here in my searches and thought it was time I became a member.
About a year and a half ago I took in 2 "female" tortoise. I was told they were about 5 years old but as time went on I would say more like 2 years old. I did a lot of research and learned all I could. They werent in horrible shape but had/have pyramiding. I wanted to make sure this didnt continue. Just recently I discovered that the bigger one was a boy thanks to a prolapse penis. Long story short I lost him thanks to a very uneducated reptile vet. A week after his passing the other one also showed me he was male LOL no prolapse just playing in his pool. I really miss having 2, and they dont co-habitate, I decided to start again but with a hatchling. I picked him up a few days ago and am so in love.
I converted a 6 foot by 3 foot bookcase into a tortoise table which I blocked off 75% off due to his size and keeping heat and humidity in.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, Koopa (3 yr old) and Koa ( hatchling). I have learned so much from this site already.
