Thanks. I've been thinking about joining the NC Herp. Society,

maybe this is a good time to jump in. BTW, I live in Cary. It would have been neat if the turtle showed up in my yard rather

than my parents'.



I saw some ads for theturtlesource, the woods in some of the pictures were beautiful.



My wife finally got me to do some yard work, so I freshened up the pond area for which I'm thinking of using for the turtle enclosure. One more question, if you don't mind - is there much risk in not having a covered enclosure for turtles that are greater than 4" in length? I've never seen a raccoon, but I guess it's possible they might venture into my backyard from the woods across the street, and there are stray cats around.



Thanks again for the info.



Ed



>>The only one I have an exact location on is in the Cary area. If you go to the next NC Herp. Society meeting, you can ask around. It is almost certain that at least one fellow Woodie fanatic will be there. NC Herps has a website.

>>I do breed them, but not for the purpose of selling. By far, the best Wood turtle breeder I have ever met is Marc Cantos. He has a new website, www.theturtlesource.com. Those juvies in the picture I posted were from him. His have amazing, vibrant colors, and he doesn't deal with WC Woodies. He's in Florida.
