I became an unexpected RES mom last week when I took in two baby turtles from a coworker. I never really thought about having turtles before, but now that I have them I am thrilled! They're about the size of a half dollar and are very cute. I think I'm going to name them Jack and Diane.

They seem very healthy and active, but I really don't know much about them. I found this site while searching for ways to take care of the little guys and it has been very useful! I look forward to talking with you all and getting advice on keeping them healthy and strong.

See you around!
