No, you do not need to use brackish water if the baby was captive bred. It will do just fine in freshwater. If it was wild caught, you will want to consider using brackish water. I love DBT and believe they are the best turtle species out there. So friendly and personable. I do have a few...

Does anybody have any Info on how to lance the wound? Biggest concern I would have is how do you get him to hold still, let alone prevent him from drawing his head back Into his shell.

So I'm on vacation in eastern Tennessee this week and we came across a small box turtle crossing the road. My intention was to simply stop, take a couple of pictures and then get him back to safety in the woods. Upon examining him we found a very large abscess on his neck. Preliminary research...

I think that pets are a great educational experience for children. Mine LOVE watching the turtles coming in and out of my house. Parents just need to realize that they are getting the pet for themselves, not their children, and expect to care for the turtles years after the kids are gone.

I think that the Burmese star tortoise is the coolest looking one out there. Wish I could own one!

That was a great photo narrative there. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad he turned out alright!

Love the pancake tortoise picture... hilarious!

I guess I'll cross my fingers for that second clutch. The first one came in early May...

Wow, that's a broad topic...

Almost looks like a chicken turtle...

Congratulations Len, way to go!
