New to turtles, but not to reptiles!
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 2:45 pmHello! I'm Taylor, a reptile keeper in Utah. I've been keeping snakes for going on 3 and a half years, and bearded dragons for 2 years. I've also had tortoises and a box turtle in the past.. Right now I have two snakes, a Corn snake and a San Diego Gopher Snake, and three rescued Bearded Dragons, plus the two family dogs. If I had it my way, though, I'd also have Garter snakes, a dwarf boa, a Leopard tortoise... The "wish list" goes on, lol!
My family and I recently moved into a gorgeous old rental house that has a pond in the back yard. Not that I needed any more reason to love the place... I've been getting great advice at pond forums, but the specialty at those forums is Goldfish and Koi, and, of course, I want to make it a turtle pond! So, in addition to asking advice from the turtle keepers at my favorite Tortoise forum, I've joined up here in hopes of getting more RES-specific advice.
Anyway, this is just my intro; I already posted a thread asking for advice over at the Outdoor Habitat forum (it's just waiting approval, apparently...).
It's nice to be here, and I'd like to thank you all in advance for advice and information! I look forward to being a part of this community.
