Hi! I am a brand new turtle owner of a brand new turtle. My family and I purchased a baby western box turtle a few days ago from a local reptile shop. The turtle is so young that it still has its egg tooth. Of course, I found this website too late to learn that as such a newbie, I should NEVER have obtained such a young turtle. I am reading as much as I can from TFO, but I was wondering if anyone has any extra special words of encouragement or advice for me and tiny Zippy. I want Zippy to outlive me and I plan to be around for many more years...PS...Zippy was born with only one eye, which made my daughter choose him over the others...[/size][/font]
