Thank you so much. The statistic alone makes me feel better.

I re-did my research last night & know I want to get another Eastern. Ornates are beautiful, but everything I read says they're not for beginning turtlers. The last thing I need is for another turtle to leave this world under my watch!

Thank you for the suggestions. I've already sent a message to my local rescue & put the word out at my herp society. I'll follow your other suggestions, too.
