yes, i am totally against taking fully heatlthy turtles out of the wild too. i dont feel guilty by taking it out of pond, well my pond. he is starting to eat alittle... im sorry if i made it sound like that. he hasn't went after any of the fish but has taken some pellets. the water is about 70*. i backed off the temp. because he'd be use to water in the 40's. do you think i should make it higher? im going to take him to the vet this weekend to have him checked out.
