Im good with turtles... I already have 2 3-toed box turtles, bob and betsy. There is an outdoor enclosure about 6x7 fee, and an indoor one thats 5x2.5 feet. Ive been keeping box turtles since march of 2006 I beleive :) However, I used to keep aquatics, but after I gave up my last one to a good home (Im not good with softshells, LOL) I decided to just focus on boxies, They are much easier to care for, IMO. No water changes (Not including the large water dish) they eat veggies more readily, and vitamin suppelments stick on the food while doing that on water turtle foods are a bit more tricky... LOL I tried it plenty of times before :D (I dont learn well excluding the straight A's and B's in school) I pay for the vet bills with my own $ (Allowance usualy) AND to top it off, my boxies are getting "in the mood" LOL!

They are great.  If you want good information, just visit codey's SMF forum for info - I forget the URL - or you could visit us at www.turtleexchange.com/forum - we upgraded to our own domain, but owe everything we know to SMFFORFREE and their dedication to free support and software.  Turtles make great pets, but make sure you are getting domestically bred turtles as opposed to wild caught.  Its an unethical practice.

I wont be around 80 more years.   Would have to put em in my will   :uglystupid2:   lol

I grew up in Michigan.   Had little turtles as pets for years.   We found an injured snapping turtle baby and took it in,  cared for it, got it well, then released it back to the wild not far from our home where we could keep a watch  (hopefully) and make sure it made it okay.

Ahh c'mon Sybil you'll be around 150 more years - Get your head frozen, its the new craze.  And speaking of Michigan, where at?  I am in Michigan born and raised, southeastern lower, detroit suburbs. 

And yes you would have to will the turtles to a willing recipient.  However, if you go with aquatic turtles, they are only known to live about 35 - 40 years in captivity if you go with the common breeds.

BTW - I see you were promoted to moderator - i gues congrats are in order....   ;)

head freezing?  lol Croc-  oh now that sounds like fun  lol.   
Further north, above the thumb in a very small town called Harrisville, right on Lake Huron.  Nice place to growup.   I left there back in 1977.

Hopefully I will get the url right...
http://weloveturtles.smfforfree.com/
Thats all from memory; Im too lazy to go back to my site! Im getting my ornate from Belvidere, Illinois about an hour from here. I LOVE BOXIES!!!! IMO, they have so much more personality than water turtles :D But I have been reading on these little beauts since january- the yellow and black just captivated me as soon as I seen a pic! Ive figured that if I keep the humidity at 60%, my 3-toeds and the ornate should do fine together with no drastic enviormental changes for either of the 2. BTW, My site isnt prosporing very much; I think there are only 7 members, LOL so feel free to join! The latest member is a friend of mine. He sighned yp in computer lab today in school because we had some free time (We have nothing to do better in school I geuss, Heh)

I :-* turtles :)
UPS doesnt ship turtles *legaly* Not that ups is doing that, but some sites (I know of a couple) That ship them out in "free sample" boxes. DHL is good with turtles, and they do it legaly, and the thing I admire the most is that they give no other cloice but overnight shiping :-* Thats AWESOME! However, it gets a bit pricey, but then again all my turtles are rescued from ingnorant pet stored just trying to make a quick buck. I could go on about that, but this isnt exactly the topic for this thread.
