    Tell your Aunt it needs a water turtle set up and to read the links. Also she needs to check the laws before keeping it. These are illegal to take from the wild in some states and in others they require a permit.

    awaiting new baby!

    Thanks! Now I need some expert advice on keeping her shell nice and smooth as she grows. I've done good with Boxies and Russians over the course of 23 years but RF is new to me. Been researching but would like any info from people who have raised them please!

    awaiting new baby!

    Almost Thursday! I ordered from underground reptiles in Florida. I wish I would have found a local breeder. I almost bought a rescue from a local lady but she ticked me off. I do rescues as well and didn't like how she was behaving.

    Horsefield acting strange

    Mine did that because she new it was spring and wanted to go out to her outside enclosure. I thought maybe she might lay eggs but none so far.
