I am happy to join Tortoise Forum. I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my second family. All my turtle/terrapin and tortoise friends.


Kirrick -male Desert Tortoise
Lucy - female Leopard Tortoise
Bumblebee, Mr. , & Sarah - adult Eastern box turtles
Franklin, Heidi, Chewy, Franky & Veggitator - adult 3 toed box turtles
Rob - juvenile Eastern Box turtle
Sprout - hatchling 3 toed box turtle
Shimmee, Timmy, Stella - diamondback Terrapins
Eastern box turtle eggs in the incubator now too.....

It all started with one Eastern Box turtle. I fell head over heals in love with him. Since then, I have read lots of books, done tons of hours of research, and loved on my turtles to no end. Years later, I now rescue many turtles from homes that don't know how to care for a turtle correctly. I take them to the vet, nurture them, and get them well. The local pet stores call me weekly with turtle questions. I help as many people as I can, by sharing knowledge. I truly love my turtles. That being said, It seems like I always have questions, and would love to chat with others who have turtle families as well. :):tort:

Welcome to the Forum. I'd say that there is plenty to learn here, but I think you have plenty to teach with all those awsome Box turtles.

I love my Three Toed BT and wish I could have more.

My husband and I used to drag race, he still does drag race quarter mile in our 70 Dart. We also just went to Pinks All Out twice. My sons both race too. They have raced quads and dirt bikes since they were about 3. They still race, although my younger son (12) races a125cc Outlaw Cage Kart now, and my oldest son(15) just does motocross for fun. We all also ride on the sand dunes, and in the woods. It's a very fun hobby. I hope you enjoyed it too...
