I just got a new tort and I am sooooo excited! I know everyone who had their new baby shipped had this experience and knows how I feel. Ive been checking every hour to see if any new info has been posted. I live in mid Florida and my baby is being shipped from North Florida via FedEx. The latest info says its in MEMPHIS TENNESSEE???!!!! Why did they take it all the way up there? This is my first shipment so I have no idea how it works. Im a dork for freaking out and being all excited but I just cant help it! :D:D:D

Congrats. The wait does suck. Be sure to give it a nice warm soak as soon as you get it. And of course post pics.

BTW what kind are you getting?

Ah hah you noticed I did not post a species :D lol I purposely did that so I can surprise you guys. It's not a Ploughshare sadly and you've seen every kind of tortoise but we need some suspense here on TFO once in a while.

I will definitely soak n take MAD pictures :p :D. I think Tennessee might be a major check point or something.

Yeah, FedEx has a major airport inTN. It's like their routing station. When i was waiting for my little guy, i was waking up in the middle of the night and checking where he was and if he had left TN and Indianapolis yet. Suspense is terrible!
