Hello everyone,
My name is Kayla, I love in Los Angeles with my surprise tortoise and 2 tortoise-loving cats. I jokingly named my tort "Shmortoise" because she just showed up one day and I truly assumed we'd find her original owners, but 4 months later and we're still together.
I'm obsessed. She lives in my backyard that I've completely turned into Shmort land for her. She has a large burrow and a few hides, plenty of safe plants and weeds to graze, and lots of room to explore. And the cats love to sun bathe with her. She has a lot of personality and I'm so grateful she walked into my life!
I've joined the forum to get general advice, but especially for advice on how to keep her over the winter in Los Angeles. Looking forward to getting to know this forum and its members. Thanks!

(I've attached some pictures of Shmortoise. In one her shell is freshly scratched up from trying to dig under the cinder blocks that support my deck. She can't get under there anymore!)
