Hi!
I'm new to the forum. I've heard this is a very nice place with a lot of knowledge.
I grew up in the Netherlands where we always had a turtle pond at my parents' property. The still have some to this day. My sister used to have snakes and I had a salamander (Gijs) that I got when I was 11, he still lived with my parents until he passed away two years ago sh he was at least 20 years old. I also had an Uromastiyx (Dereck) who I got on hospice care but ended up living another 6 years.
I got married and moved to southern Tennessee where I've been living with my husband, our two dogs and 4 rats. I am wanting to get back into keeping turtles. I think I would like to get box turtles so I am doing my research. It has been very difficult to find good information about keeping and possibly trading box turtles. Information seems to be very contradicting so I am hoping to learn as much as I can before I actually get new pets!
