Turtle Talk

I was wondering how many of us have turtles and how life is with them. This is what we have "so far", I say so far because we rescue Box Turtles and yesterday we got another rescue and it is our first water turtle, I think it may be a yellow eared slider.

We have 10 Box Turtles

and now we have

Johnny the new addition.

All ten Box Turtles (most are Ornata's) are hibernating ourdoors and I miss them very much. Johnny is getting all the attention right now.

Here are some of the Box Turtles on my Flickr account. I'm on a different computer and don't have access to my photos on this one, but will post more photos later on.

Mr. T is on the front page of my photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40386602@N02/

Please post your experiences with these gentle wonderful animals if you can. I'd love to see them.
