I'm sort of new here...though I have posted before. I don't really Have a "tortoise" but I do have land turtles as well as aquatic. I have:

A Batagur Borneoensis
Indian spotted pond turtle
Alligator snapper
A likely male Pyxidea mouhotii...he's new
Nine three toed box turtles
as well as 1.1 (probably) Iranian kaiser newts..with three more coming.
Also 4 large land snails...

A fair collection...and looking for more always. :)

Hi JacksonR:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

I'd love to see pictures of your Mouhotii. I'd really like to have some of those, but I think its too cold here in the winter for them, and I don't want any more indoor habitats.

Here's my alligator snapper. (Chompers)

VERY old picture...the setup in it is not the configuration of his current aquarium. He's palm sized now.

You just had to go and show the spot didn't you? It's one species which I would really like to try. :D How do the snails do for you? Keep thinking about getting a few snails. Almost forgot...welcome! :tort:

Jacqui, You should get a spottie. They're beautiful and easy to take care of. Can be hard to find for sale though.

The snails are low maintenence. Just through in fruit and greens. Keep soil a few inches and damp. Two of them have laid eggs for the first time in or the last two days!
