Hi, I'm new here and trying to learn how to post and use this site. I have a California Desert Tortoise named Shelly (original, huh). She is 9-1/2 months old, I got her when she was 3 days hatched. She is beautiful, healthy, great appetite. She lives inside the house in a tank with a UVB light on daytime. I would love to get info from you experts, especially CDT experts because her needs are different from many of the breeds noted here. Don't know how to post a pic yet, but I love seeing pics of your gorgeous tortoises.
