Hi, welcome! You've come to the right place.

 

[SSSaunders]

Thank you.

 

[Gillian M]

A very warm welcome to the forum.

Please post pics of your tort as well as his/her enclosure, and read the "Beginners Mistakes" Thread. Give your tort daily soaks in warm water so as to avoid pyramiding and dehydration.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Welcome what kind of tort do you have?

 

[Tim Carlisle]

Welcome!

Welcome

 

[SSSaunders]

Thank you all for the welcome. @Ray--Opo I have no idea what kind he is, we live near a forested area and he walked into our yard one day looking for refuge and I adopted him so I don't know what kind he is. But I will post a pic if you can identify him I will appreciate it.

I am trying to get the "Beginners Mistakes" thread @Gillian Moore but cannot find it. I have no idea how to navigate the site/page yet, sorry.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Maybe @Yvonne G or @HermanniChris can help you idenify

 

[HermanniChris]

Welcome.
That’s a yellow foot tortoise.

 

[SSSaunders]

Thank you @HermanniChris .. Now I know what species he is I can start researching it. Thanks a mill!

 

[Ray--Opo]

I don't know how to send links but if you click on species and then click on redfoot,yellowfoot then click on search click more and put in keyword yellowfoot. There is probably a shorter way to get there. But that's how I do it.

That's exactly what I can't do. Can you explain in a reply? If it's to complicated to explain here don't bother. Thanks Ray
