New turtle owner

[menzel1982]

Hello my name is bobbi and I just recently purchased two Greek tortioses. Their names are Heavy and Han Solo, my sons named them. We all reside in the beautiful state of alaska. I know not an ideal place for turtles. I am totally new to having turtles so I have been stressing about their enclosure and just about everything. I hope to get a lot of questions answered through this forum and meet other turtle people.

Hi Bobbi, and welcome to the Forum!!

There is a lady with a lot of turtle knowledge also living in Alaska. Her site is http://www.turtlepuddle.org/

Be sure to buy a good UVB light if your new tortoises are going to spend a lot of time indoors. I prefer the MVB - Mercury Vapor Bulb.
