indian star tortoise section has been added
i can add additional smilies but im not quite sure where we can get extra smiley images.
barbie69, if you want to start a new thread in this forum where people can post smiley images i'd be happy to add the popular ones.

i'm planning on adding some new forums and doing some reorganizing soon. is there anything anyone would like to specifically request?

Perhaps something on hingebacks and asian tortoises.

what about an endangered tortoise section? those that are critically endangered.

What about an area for legal issues or even forms like the one listed here that is a care proxy? It might be small but important.

very nice. what about other forms like for obtaining permits for special turtles/tortoises. or to import or export them across state or country lines?

i am trying very aggressively to be able to obtain the proper documention to be able to import a sea turtle hatchling and put it in a 10,000 gal pond.

Cory, As someone who is working on your MS in Biology it would be an awesome acheivement for you to be able to obtain that goal. And I am sure a difficult one. Good luck.
I Just looked at your Chapter site and saw you are having an auction March 21, 2008. This is correct? I would love to attend that auction. Please confirm the auction date for me. Thanks.

I'm thinking about adding a miscellaneous tortoise topic section. perhaps there we could have things like the tortoise will. what do you guys think?
as for hingebacks and asians, if there are a decent amount of folks here who are into them, i'd be happy to add those forums.

any feedback on the new classifieds format? anything im forgetting here?
