    Double Stock Tank Build! Pic Heavy!

    I got the tubs at tractor supply for $70 a piece then I simply went and got 12 cinder blocks and six 2"x1'x8' boards, the boards cost more than the tanks but all in all it was a very cheap easy setup, just placed the cinder blocks with boards on top and done, I am very happy with the way it's...

    What kind of turtle should I get?

    A Texas map would be nice but not sure if u consider that plain, they r not plain or extremely common as an res or miss map is, very beautiful and stay small, but cheaper would be something like a southern painted or even a razor back musk would be cool, my prettiest turtles IMO are my pink...

    Turtlesandtortoises.com is really excellent, didn't see too many muskies or mud last I checked but the selection is huge, theturtlesource is ok, I have had mixed experiences with them recently but they offer a 7 day health guarentee which I now know they do stand behind and that is nice.. Not...

    Turtle saved from serious shell injury/fracture

    Thanks, and what I didn't mention was the day after I found him I went out to get bandage supplies and came across a fresh road killed large female cooter, I was able to save 10 intact eggs from her, 8 of which were fertile and about half way threw incubation doing awesomely!

    Turtle saved from serious shell injury/fracture

    On July 13th I was at the lake and found a freshly injuried young male cooter, he appeared to have been hit by a boat and had serious shell fractures, after many failed attempts to get this turtle to a licensed wild life rehabber I began treating the turtle on my own, being a nurse since the age...
