Hello everyone. I'm new to torts, but grew up in a part of the world where finding box turtles were a common part of childhood. I even had a red eared slider for a while, before my parents rightly decided that I wasn't ready for pets and packed it off to a new home. Now that I'm 30-something and have plenty of experience with dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional reptile under my belt I'm getting ready to take the leap into torts. I stumbled across TortoiseForum by accident and it has been a valuable resource as I try doing my due diligence before bringing home an animal. I'm looking forward to becoming an active participant.
