Hi.. im Sabra. Me and my husband live in Washington. We have three shell babies. 1 RES named Genetic. Shes about 2years old and pretty spoiled. We just adopted two land turtles from and unstable home. 1 is a female Ornate box turtle i believe. We just had to get her beak cut cause it was overgrown. Her name is Angelface. The other is an unknown breed... we know he's a male. His name is Mr. Dillback. He is an active one... we love turtles. They are wonderful pets. :mrgreen:
