Hello fellow turtle/tortoise lovers!

[Ana Z.]

Hey party people!

I'm new to the world of turtles and tortoises, but I fell for them hard and fast.

My boyfriend and I have 1 russian, 2 redfoots, 4 red eared sliders and 8 box turtles.

They currently live with my boyfriend but we will all move into one place together in a couple of months. For that reason, I am here to learn to take care of them as well as I possibly can.

Thanks Jacqui

Sally the russian was just adopted and we have gathered she must be between 3 and 5. Same with the reds. I kinda feel like an unfit turtle mother because I'm guesstimating their ages! HELP! How do you tell their ages if you don't know left from right when it comes to turtle maturity?

6 of our box turtles are babies and 2 are about 5. I love having so many babies!!!! Me and my boyfriend are like the Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt of turtles and tortoises!

No... I am not like Brad Pitt... more like John Candy.
