Hey, call me Scel. I'm twenty-one, a college freshman, and my major is Zoology with emphasis on herpetology. I've the proud keeper of a Florida Softshell hatchling named Antoine. Thanks to him, I'm the only student in my class other than the Ranch Management majors who can actively anticipate an industrial stock tank in their future. Right now his goal in life seems to be to worry me to death as he hasn't eaten in over a week. He's hefty and active so he's probably just in a mood but I'm about to fret myself to bits.

Excellent to be here, looking forward to getting to know you all.

Edit: Talk about bad--or maybe good--timing! Shortly after posting this thread I caught him eating. I guess this forum is good luck--now if only the powers-that-be would, say, grant me a million dollars?

Hi Scelerata, welcome to the site! Glad luck is finding it's way to you

Thanks. As soon as I acknowledged his eating, he stopped again, but oh well, at least I know he got a bit of food in him.

It's lovely to be here. I'm not sure how active I can be; I've kept RES before but I don't currently have one--or any slider turtles at all--so my ability to converse on the topic is a bit limited.

Welcome! Would love to see pics of Antoine

I'll see what I can do! All I have on hand is a cell phone camera, but I'll give it a go really soon. <3
