Hey! Was surfing trying to find hibernation info on my little baby RES and came across this forum! I figured I'd intoduce myself here first before posting any questions...

I'm 20 years old..but have never had a turtle before now...I have wanted one since I was 10, but they were illigal to sell here until now. I live in Ontario, Canada and have many other pets as well. My turtle's name is Kalas....I also have rats, mice, a chinchilla, cats, and a dog..and am getting geckos in a few months from a breeder...

I am hoping to find some useful information as well as other RES owners to chat with!

I get the feeling baby turts would cure me of my baby hunger!! No need for me to have any more babies when Snappy could do it for me!! Laughing

Course, then they grow up, just like any other baby!! Atleast they don't talk back, maybe just a bite here and there. Rolling Eyes

Had I only known 10 years ago, I probably would have tried that. Having kids with them NOT talking back....hmmmmm Laughing
