Itort Wrote:I bought three of her RFs last year and they are good quality. She raises them up on "pasture" outside and they eat like little pigs. I recommend her.
BTW I forgot to mention that the RF I have now came from
Debbie. She just lives a few miles from me. She brought 3
yearlings into the pet shop when I was there. I snagged one
real quick! Only had to pay $50.00!!!!!!!! What luck!
Here he is! The one at the pet shop is twice his size, but
I feel they feed too much "turtle food" and just slightly thawed
frozen mixed vegies. My guy gets to graze, weather permitting
and gets field greens, fruit and dandylion. I keep hen&chicks
planted in shallow pots in his enclosure.[

My oldest daughter goes to college near KC in Belton. My husband works for PRIME trucking out of Springfield. My Grandparents on the West/Fletcher side came from El Dorado area. See I is a MO hillbilly by blood.
Now watch out Jacqui! Them hillbillys is those Arkys. LOL
we'er just red-necks here in SW MO. I am
about 45 min. from Springfield, & 2 hrs. from KC.
Don't worry Kelly your not alone I have never been nor do I have ties to MO.
Dreamer I am in Arizona. I don't ever get to see wild torts or turtles
. I am thinking of taking vacation by myself no kids or hubby and maybe go herping somewhere.
Huummm! Never seen any wild torts in Arizona? I do think they have a type of desert tort there. Please,
someone correct me if I'm wrong! A vacation alone..........WOW! I hope that plan comes to fruit!!!!
We have Dessrt Torts and a subspecies of ornate boxies, I have never seen any though.. I sure hope my vacation comes through, I know in April I am taking a weekend to go to tucson to a reptile show..
You should be able to come across desert torts and desert boxes (ornata lutea). I think western painted range there too.

Oh, let me know how the show was!! We have a couple of them
here. They are 2 hrs away from me and I haven't gone to one yet.
Not sure they are worth the drive. Meaning not sure how good
they are. As for boxies here in Mo. I have to make several road
stops, to pick them up & put them on the other side of the road!
I don't know why drivers can't avoid them
If they are close
enough to our place, I bring em home & release them here.
Some yrs. we see several & others not so many. We see them
on the roads in late april & all of may.
We also have a large pond on our place, & it's just full of snappers
painteds, & red-eared sliders.
