I knew somebody would correct me! It's how I learn. Is there a difference between Terrapin and Terrapene? Spelling?
The problem is that my sister taught me almost everything I know about raising tortoises. Then all the sudden she'd start bringing me 20-25 Gopherus Agazzi hatchlings and I would raise them correctly until they were 1 yr. old then she'd adopt them out. OMGosh! Try going from not knowing much to having herds of the little beasts. It was so much work and so much fun. Any how I've had turtles and tortoises for a number of years now and I live out of state I raise them the way I want to...correctly of course. I did raise a Sulcata to 125 lbs before he died at 17.....lesson.....be careful how much clover your tort eats....I'll shut up now.....
