New member but not sure if I'm in the right place!

Hello, all, from Lancashire in England. I don't actually have a tortoise, I have two little turtles which I recently 'rescued' - I work at a primary school and they were the school 'pets'. I have been trying to research as much info as I can via YouTube, Google and forums like these. I came across the link to this forum on the ATP site - their forum doesn't seem to be in use any more. However, this site seems to be for tortoises, so can any of you recommend a good site to join/use that provides clear pictures and information about Mud and Musk turtles? I can't make my mind up whether Ziggy and Bailey are Mud, or Musk! Just when I think they are definitely Mud Turtles I see another photo of a Musk that also looks similar to them! I didn't realise just how many different breeds and types of turtle there are out there! Any info you can give me will be very much appreciated. ?

Hello and welcome.

We have a section just for turtles about half way down on the main page. Right under South East Asian Tortoises.
