Hi. My name is Jeanne. I'm 22 years old. I am a wife and a SAHM to 4 wonderful children. We went fishing all night Friday and I actually ended up catching 3 turtles. I don't know what kind they are lol. They tried to bite us at first, but are calming down now. My kids are wanting to look at them all the time. Anyone have any tips for a new turtle owner? Thanks in advance.

welcome to the board Smile

for identifying ur turtles, are there any special markings that could help? if u can post pix it'll help a lot too Smile

so what are u feeding them? are they eating? cz usually new turtles don't eat for the first couple of days..if u want the best tips then check the care sheets on the top of this page and u'll find everything newbies need..if u still have anymore questions or anything to share, we are here Smile

good luck

There are some great pages on the web and people are so very nice! Turtletopia.com has great photos that can hopefully help you figure out what type you have and then care will be easier. About how big are they and what do they look like?
