My name is Jack, I live in a small town in western Oregon. I have been keeping turtles off and on for 30 yrs. Now i have a wc russian tort Tortuga " we couldn't pronouce turtle in russian" and two cb three toed boxie juviniles Fred and Ethal. I have two great kids Zachary 17, and Ashley 14. I belong to other turtle forums " I like this one the best", carnivorous plant forums, and blogs for the Miami Dolphins. I especially like the forum on contriversal subjects, its very informitive and as a bonus very entertaining.
