Hey Y'all, my name is Jess Gaylord; I live in Zieglerville, PA. I will be getting a 6 month old Ibera Greek Tortoise from Tortoise Town. I'm usually a nice, friendly, easy to talk to type of person. I just made an account on here because of owning a tortoise myself in the next few days. I also made an account because I know nothing about tortoises. I ain't afraid to say that. I hope to be able to post questions about my tortoise and not be ridiculed. I hope to get knowledge on all kinds of turtles and tortoises, since they are some of my absolute favorite animals. Next to polar bears. :) Thank you, for taking your time out and reading this. If you'd like to get to know me, just shoot me a message!

Hi Jess, and welcome to the forum!

One nice thing about our Forum is that we have nice members. I really doubt anyone will ridicule you. We all were in your spot at one time or another. You'd be amazed at some of the things I used to do with my tortoises, and it's a wonder they're still alive!

Polar bears, huh? My favorites are owls and elephants. I just can't help the "O-o-o-o-o. . . aw-w-w-w" thing when I see a picture of an owl. This one is my favorite:

Aw - they're just itty, bitty babies. I just love them!!!!!

With all the snow that just piled up in Pa, keep your eyes open for Polar Bears. Welcome to the forum from a Marylander!

Meet Boggy guys! He's adapting to his enclosure well, we're going to modify it since I wasn't expecting him to be this small.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise forum.
I like bats and cheese.
But not camels.

You have come to the right place....the most modern information is shared by so many members. It should be a requirement for all new tortoise owners. Their fact/care/health advise is the best I've seen world wide. Follow their advise and your adventure with your new friend will be a long and happy one.
