Hello, I visited this forum to learn as much as possible before buying a turtle. I loved having RES turtles when I was a kid. My sister was allergic to everything else and this was as close to a puppy as I could get! But they were sold back then in the little plastic thingy with the plastic palm tree. My parents weren't animal lovers so I was on my own. Poor thing mostly ate bologna & lettuce. I was always devastated when eventually my beloved turtles would get soft shells & die. Now decades later I'm learning what caused that & indeed it can be prevented which has sparked my interest in them again. Sooo here I am. :D

Welcome, and kudos for doing your research this time around :-)

Welcome to the forum. :) It's a really good idea to do research before jumping into having a turtle. At least this way you can review all the costs involved in owning one and know that you can provide a happy, healthy environment for one. Let us know if we can help in any way.
