Our household consists of my husband, myself, our 4 year old son, 2 dogs (14yrs and 4 months), 2 cats, and now 2 Central American Painted Wood Turtles. My best friend wanted a turtle for her son, found 2 for sale, and I am now taking care of them until June! I had a box turtle for several years, but these 2 are a little different. I found this forum researching what to do with an ill turtle.
