This site has come out of a  fascination and love of tortoises. We hope it to be informative and helpful and we will always welcome your feedback.  The advice you will receive here is NOT from professionals but from people who keep and love tortoises of their own and who have done and passed the Tortoise Trust Course in Chelonian Husbandry.  We would recommend this course to anyone currently caring for tortoises or thinking of caring for them in the future.
