Howdy from Aggieland

Howdy! I've always been an avid admirer of family friends with large tortoise at their ranches and homes in south Texas. I've finally reached a point in life where I feel that I could provide a comfortable home for a large tortoise of my own and joined the forum to learn as much as I could about the care or these creature and in the hope I could find one of my own

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest that you have an enclosure ready before you get a tortoise. Check out the species specific section for some ideas and information.
