All Turtles Message Board

PATMAN

Hi all!

I'm new to this forum but not new to keeping turtles and tortoises! I bought my very first turtle at a pet store in September 1984. That's almost 22 years ago and I have been keeping turtles & tortoises ever since. I have about 20 now and love the hobby and enjoy turtle forums.

Here's a picture for you of my three toed female box turtle I named "Clyde." That's right, she is my very first pet turtle I mentioned earlier, and I have been lucky enough to have had her for the past 22 years. She looks exactly like the day I bought her. She was an adult then, so who know what her true age is!
