I do. I currently have 1 Redfoot, 1 Russian, and 4 Malaysian Pink Belly Side Neck Turtles. I've been researching Western Hermann's Tortoises for a while too. They seem like some awesome little guys

Hello from Florida, and welcome to the Forum!

Indulge my curiosity... Which way do your side-necks normally tuck their heads?

Thanks for answering that question! I don't have a sideneck, but I've read that each turtle does seem to have a preferred direction that they tuck their head. So for the last year or so, I've been curious whether it's just random on their preference, or whether being left-necked or right-necked is tied to anything else, like being left-handed or right-handed is for humans.

Thanks again for indulging my curiosity!
