Here is a thread which shows you how to post photos. When you have the code you need start a thread in the Identification/Sexing section

Hi giustino, if you do buy another tort, you might still need to quarentine the other tort. This could be at least 6 months+ minimum. IMO, I would concentrate on the one you have and get to know the breed, diet, housing, etc before delving into another tort. However, that decision is up to you. xx
