So, this is all new to me...

Hello, I'm tlc. A new tortoise owner and naturally, my first time here.

As my username suggests, I'm a writer. I have one book out right now and a couple more on the way. All fiction, as that is my thing. I just wish I could do things more quickly than I can.

I have chronic daily headache, migraine, and fibromyalgia, and get a lot of benefit from keeping animals. They anchor me and give me love and trust. It's all very important to me. Especially as I believe a home is for life and that is that.

I first heard of Shelled Warriors through Rabbits United, as somebody said there that forage for torts and for rabbits can be quite similar. And I'm a much more experienced rabbit owner than I am reptile owner.

Aside from my Horsefield's tortoise, Aurora, I also have a guinea pig (he recently lost his mate), four cats, a tank of tropical fish and eight rabbits. I'm especially passionate about rabbit welfare and am hoping to learn the proper care of torts quickly, especially as Aurora is my first.

I will, however, give Aurora her own introduction later...
