They do bite when you bother them, but many turtles do.

Yes. He hatched with no eyes.
Nope. not normal at all.
?So many? I've hatched hundreds of babies over the years and this is the only one that had no eyes. Also, this is a young female who has only nested four times in her life. She's still getting the hang of it.

Cool.
I thought only I did that.
I only have 3 torts with names. The adult female RF named Julio while she was a juvenile. And Wild Child. The RF that hatched out in my enclosure and looked to be about 3 months old the first time I even noticed her and was named by a forum member. Two torts gifted to me by a fellow member. One is Waffles. She has some strange pyramiding. The other RF. I forgot the name. She's now number 5.
My vet records show either "No name" or #1, #2, etc
Sry Zero, I'm backing up a bit.....

Wow guys, tough room! I know what your blood pressure did when you read the comment, it was my first reaction too.....but that's all it was, a reaction. We don't know the poster's intent, maybe it was actually meant to promote healthier offspring and not off-putting at all. I know I am grasping at straws but Kerry has taught me to give folks the benefit until we know otherwise. That person has been a member here much long than I, maybe, just maybe it's not quite time to break out the powder?
Besides, most folks write like crap....they can't write what they mean and they don't get that teasing and sarcasm are only to be attempted by those with extended vocabularies. Given that many are simply unable to correctly express themselves, we need to lower our bar of expectation or at least allow for them.
I am just more removed from the situation(not my family they're screwing with....I'm joking!!!<LOL>) so I can pretend to be the "voice of reason"............... generally out of character for me.....LOL
Besides, IT's FRIDAY so I get to see my Kerry! She's an ADD too Mags!! No, seriously ADHD and sometimes all over the place but it always comes from a good place in her heart and she's still the most magnificent woman I've ever met! I'll take that any day over "boring"!

Kerry in jail or what? Special visiting hours...
Obbie, some folks here did not understand that your comment was made in innocence and was well meant. They jumped to a conclusion, which we must all avoid doing to keep things nice and even all round, right?
Certainly, some people don't care about breeding healthy animals, they just want money no matter what it takes to get it. But That does not apply here, so don't worry!
So they shouldn't say anything to a poster if you don't know the person or the person's background...it's that kind of crap that starts trouble. Think...think before you post...
I agree. To disagree. Moving on.......
I'm not agreeing...
Hey folks. . . it's all good. No harm or insult taken. Let it go now.
WOW ! I apologize, I didn’t have the facts, that it was one tort, it resonated as it just happens. I’m all about genetics, so important, especially if their numbers are in decline. So I think I’ll stay off, I love the info I get on here so, for Mali’s sake I’ll keep reading.
