I have mostly been a snake and lizard guy for years(many), turtles just seemed too troublesome and high maintenance. Every article /book etc. seems to have lines that jump out at you like. "Shell deformities oocur if the proper this and that aren't fed...." Beaks and claws become problems... Sallmonella and dirty constantly needed water changes.....No more vacations... Your turtle must be taken out for natural sunlight and if you don't have banks of Full spectrum lites your little turtle will turn into a Blob impersonator. Your life is over now that you have to wait hand and foot on your turtles well being....Well, you get the point.



Let me add that I keep all my animals VERY clean and am meticulous but it seems to do turtles right is well....prohibitive..



But I saw another one of those REALLY COOL LITTLE ORNATE WOOD TURTLES TODAY at a herp show. Can anybody point me in the right direction to learn more about them? Thanks,

Bob
