NOTE EARLY TIME!
Box Turtles with Tess Cook
Saturday, February 23, at 4 PM Eastern, in kingsnake.com's Chat Room

Tess has been involved with box turtles since 1991 and in 1996 launched an online box turtle care handbook and created a Terrapene discussion group. In 2002, she became a wildlife rehabilitator, presented educational talks on these animals, as well as bred them in captivity. She is author of a new book coming soon to a pet store near you, “Box Turtles: A Completed Guide to Terrapene and Cuora.”

Nuts! I missed it! How did it go? But it would be cool if we could have a regularly scheduled time for an informal box turtle chat. I have often gone to the reptile chats, but they are almost all snake, lizard, etc. people! Rarely any turtles there!

Darn it if I didn't miss it too, I had it on my calander, but I was busy at work that day (I know it was a Sat. no rest for the willing) and then forgot. I like your idea Gold, of a regularly scheduled chat, not sure if there would be enough others that would support that and not sure what it would entail to start something like that, but I would certainly offer to help in any way that I could possible?

I'm sorry you missed it. People had very good questions and we discussed some interesting things about conservation as well as practical issues. I would be willing to have set up a regular chat time -even if it's just with one person. I usually have the evenings free, as well as weekends. If you like I can pick a time to meet in the reptile chat room or one of you can. Just let me know. Tess
