I just got a toad-head turtle a few days ago and was wondering if anyone had any information about them and if the care for them is basically the same as and RES? I have searched the internet and haven't really found anything about them. They don't seem to be as popular as a RES. Also is there an estimated time it takes for a turtle to get used to it's new home? She is moving around and looking around the room but, hasn't eaten anything yet and hasn't been basking yet. I just bought her Wed. 08/17/05.

I have found little to no information about these turtles, but I did find a website in Uruguay that you can e-mail asking for a caresheet, they may be able to assist you,
"The CHU
( Centro Herpetológico Uruguay
Breeding, Research and Education
Director: DAVID FABIUS )
is a government approved facility, located in Uruguay, South America."
Here is the link: http://dfabius.tripod.com/phrytubercu.htm

I hope that helps you out. Very Happy
