I'm Lizz, I'm going to be 18 in April and I have a Redfoot Tortoise that is roughly 9 months old or so. I say roughly because I really don't know for sure. I bought him on September 21 of 2011 (I know his birthday by heart ) He was nearing 2.75 inches then. He might have been less; I wasn't exactly skilled in the art of measuring! Anyway, he's around 3 inches now.
Does this growth sound normal to you? He's not the biggest eater. I just want to make sure my little one is growing normally!
Anyway, his name is Koopernicus, Koop for short. It was supposed to be a mixture of Koopa and Copernicus, whom we were studying in Physics the same week; I wanted to give him a nice dignified name that will carry him through the years, lol. He's a little sweetie. He is VERY courageous (Or kind of dumb) they go hand in hand though! He is always on the move exploring, though he can be quite a little Grump at times.
If all is well with him, I'm planning on buying another little one pretty soon. I want to introduce the new one while Koop is still young.
I originally found this forum in August of last year when I spent some time researching before ordering him. I went away but have lately come back. I've finally got around to joining.
It's nice to meet you all though. It might sound weird, but I feel like I know a lot of you already from lurking the forum.
Oh, and we are from Louisiana!
