Hi. My name's Melissa (you can all call me Mel). I recently got an RES from a friend who couldn't take care of it. I've never had a turtle before, so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. But for now I'm just introducing myself. My username is actually my turtle's name...which sounds really dumb, I know. It's an inside joke. I usually just call him (her? it?) "Turtle".

Welcome to the forum! All turtle names are appreciated here!

Why don't you read up on the general info on the site. Afterwards, you'll probably have a lot of questions.

That was nice of you to take little BabyTurtleEver when your friend couldn't take care him/her.

Hi Mel! Welcome to the forum! How big is your RES? Hope you can post some pictures.

Have you had a chance to read the "RES Basic Care" sections from the links at the top of the page yet? There's a lot of really helpful info on what basic necessities are required for a RES.

Hi, thanks for the posts. Yeah, I read a lot of the Basic Care stuff. Not all of it yet, but most. I've started getting an awesome tank together for Baby. He's about 3 1/2 or four inches long, I guess. I posted a more detailed description of the tank he has on the habitat forum. That's my biggest concern right now.

Hello!!
