How is the little guy? Any pics?
Well, if you decide you want one, there are a number of turtle breeders in South Florida with captive bred stinkpots. If you wait until an expo, you can pick one out for yourself. There will be plenty of common musk turtles, mud turtles, and similar species available in Daytona in August. That's where I got my three-striped mud turtles, Bold and Pinstripe, last year.I have not talked to them in a few weeks. Meaning I haven't been to church for 2 weeks
Not sure what they have done with the turtle.
