This is so cool! My name is Lisa, and I am the mom to 4 RES turtles...
Speedy, Squirt, Scooter and Myrtle has joined the crowd permanently!
I also have 2 grown daughters, 1 husband 2 Brittanys and 6 cats (2 out on loan)

Welcome to the forums! hope the forums help you and your RES as much as they helped us

Hi Sooermum62,
Glad youre back! Do you have contacts with any of the "old" members? If so, let em know were back on, thanks to Steve. Anyways, welcome back

Well now! This is a happy occasion. Glad to be back with all of you.
For those who don't know me, my name is George Commons and I live in Kenosha, WI. with my wife of 55 years, as of the 21st of April. I have a basement 265 gallon pond w/ attached nesting area and a pair of RESs that are almost 2 years old and 5 wild caught EPTs-3 females and 2 males.
I have an identical 265 gallon pond in the back yard that is sunk level to the ground with a buried fence 2 feet away so the turts can crawl out on land, if they want to. Also, there is an area for nesting. The turtles have been outside in the pond but I had to bring them back in to their "winter quarters" as the temp has dropped in to the 30s at night. I have 30 Black Trapdoor Snails on order that will help me keep the algae controlled in the pond. Almost forgot--am raising a hatchling RES for great grandson till it is about 2 inches. Have a nice habitat for it also.
Gonna try and get some pics posted. George

wow, you own quite a family lol welcome to the forums again

oldturtle72! soopermum! what's happening??!

Great to see you back George!!!

Yipee, glad to see you back Old turtle

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Hey Adam.. Steve.. Jenareo, This is a great looking start to "The New and Improved Turtle Talk!"..

Not much going on with me except Myrtle (the pet store turtle that I am rehabbing) is now mine peramently. She has also graduated to the 150 gallon tank with Speedy and Squirt. Scooter would not even think about sharing his 90 gallon tank. I know that is ALOT of turtle in one tank but they are getting along fine. I have some very cute pictures of them stacking to bask and they love to play tug of war over carrot shreds.

we're getting bigger by the minute! welcome back everyone!

Hi, I haven't been around in ages! I just wanted to drop in and say Hi!
I still have 2 of my Turtles, and all are doing good. speedy and squirt moved on to my daughter's house and I still have BC and Scooter.
Scooter turned out to be a female!

Welcome back! It seems that quite a few of the older forum members are saying hello again after a long hiatus!

Wow seemed like you had a whole forum family.welcome back

Another original, lol. Glad to hear everything is good
