Hello!

[HoosierTort]

Greetings everyone! I’m new here but not to torts. I have historically only rescued mine but I have recently expanded my husbandry skills to hatchlings. I currently have a pair of rescued adult RT’s, 3:1 E.Box Turtles, a pair of hatchling eastern painted, 3 Hermann’s hatchlings; one Testudo Hermmini Boettgeri(eastern), one Testudo Hermmini Hercegovinensis(Dalmatian), and one Testudo Hermmini Hermmini[Apulia](Western).

I am a husband, father of 5(including 3yo triplets), Firefigher/Paramedic. I’m looking to get more into husbandry and breeding as well as continuing rescuing torts. Seems even the wild ones here about my place as today I found a 2yo’ish red eared slider in my garage!! Released him out back in my koi pond where he can decide to stay or leave. So far he seems to like it...

Hi and welcome,
You'll find good caresheets with up to date information for most of the species you have there.

“Trying threes” has proven more difficult than the “terrible twos“... still wouldn’t trade it for the world!
