"I always hesitate to post my opinions on quarantine because I do go for the overkill way of doing things. In the past people have gotten mad at me, sent me hate mail, told me what an idiot I am all because I say quarantine for the maximum amount of time. ?What scares me is that we have the sulcata in the yard now. I've come home in the past to find that someone has put a turtle in my yard. I fear that happening again one day. ?I never let a new turtle near one of my pets if it's never been tested."?-----?PHRatz


I think your many posts and valued advice over several forums have earned you a pedestaled niche with respect to posting.

Know that for the majority of us; your opinions are always welcome.

Your concern with individuals putting turtles in your yard is well validated. I'm sure the individuals mean well as they feel your a turtle lover; and have extended knowledge of chelonian husbandry. However as you previously stated; I'd isolate new and established chelonians.

Thanks for your dedication, and time answering many posts!
