Hi my name is Sam I came apon this site a couple days ago. I think its great. I like all the great advise everyone gives out. As a first time turt owner it will be lots of help. My turts name is Ivan who I recently rescued from one of my stupid cousins, who just abandoned him in our guest house area. My father found him out in the back yard in icky water. Anyway he is realy cool and I look forward to chating with you all.
Welcome, what kind of set up do you have for him? If he was in no good conditions for very long, you might want to have him checked out by a herp vet. Just in case.
