Hi everyone! I don't think I've introduced myself yet. My name is Mary and our family has a sulcata hatchling named Kenya.
We originally wanted to get a turtle for our five year old son's birthday and after much research came to the conclusion that we wanted a tortoise and that we would have to take care of it. Who knew there was so much involved? The more we learned the more we realized what a big responsibility it was going to be. After months of reading we decided on a sulcata and started to prepare. We were so happy to finally get our little tort in May of 2008. My son named him Kenya and the rest is history!
Now we can't wait for him to grow up and live in our backyard! I'm already looking at sheds!
