Just wanted to introduce myself here. I just acquired two RES hatchlings...I know it's illegal to buy in the store.
Long story short, me and the misses are shopping downtown LA. I come out of a store and she and my two daughters are holding the death bowl with the 2 hatchlings. Says "the girls fell in love and they were only $5" Who woulda thought that this $10 investment would be so much to take in?
One 60 gallon tank, 100 Gl canister filter, 20 lbs of sand, driftwood hunting, hours of forum digging and $500 later, these herps are now properly housed and enjoying their new habitat.
I am constantly learning about these fabulous creatures and continue to be amazed. I hope to gain access to all of your knowledge in these forums and share the knowledge that I will be acquiring with newcomers like myself. I know this is a lifetime investment as these turtles will likely outlive me so I plan to make their time with our family as healthy as possible.
