Reptile & Amphibian Forums

If anyone would like to join me in the Reptile and Amphibian chat room this Saturday night please let me know by responding to this post. If I get one other person to join me----I'll do it! I am thinking about 7pm Eastern on Saturday. If 1 hour earlier or later is better-let me know. Saturdays are open chat days so we might have to share the room with others. Tell me if you have other day or time requests and I can see what I can do.

It would be nice to have a box turtle chat a few times a month. I have things I would like to know, too! I hope some of you experts will come to the chat as well. Tess

Yes, I think that sounds great! (I hope I don't forget!)

I'll be there.....completely new to box turtles, but one just crawled up to my door step today. What a coincidence.

I released the FL Box Turtle today. The little guy wasn't doing well for me. I couldn't get him to eat anything I offered and he passed two BM's in the two days I had him. Obviously he is eating somewhere out there! Lots of tiny buggy parts, greens, etc. I put him back in my yard and happily made his way under my trees and disappeared into the bushy hedges. Must have been a good day for turtles 'cuz all the RES and cooters were basking at the lake in front of my house, too!

Awww, it sounds like the ending of a movie. Quite music in the background and a close up of the turtle leaving captivity and disappearing into the bushes, then the camera pans out, music gets louder and we see the RESs basking away!

Thanks for setting this up Tess! I really enjoyed it. And was able to learn things that I wouldn't have thought to post here.
