Hello from NE Ohio

[lisa127]

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a new member and my name is Lisa. I'm married and 43 years old with two daughters ages 18 and 17. I'm also mom to 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 blue tongued skink lizard and 1 Gulf Coast box turtle. I'm very glad to be here! Turtles and tortoises, along with dogs, are my passions. All animals really, but when I was a small child I used to tell people I wanted to be a turtle trainer when I grew up! Strange, I know...lol. Again, glad to be here and meet you all.

Thanks everyone!

We are neighbors Derek. I am in lake county. How old is your Gulf Coast?

 

[DerekS]

Wow we are close! I got my gulf coast last June as a hatchling so he is right around the year mark. Nice to meet you neighbor.

 

[lisa127]

Nice to meet you also. I got my Gulf Coast last April. Not sure on his exact hatch date, but my avatar pic is what he looked like when I brought him home. He's a lot bigger now! I'm thinking mine is close to a year and a half.
