    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Okay, so I am an avid snake owner, two boas and a cornsnake for about two years now.

Anywho, Snakes are easy to me.

Well, last year around July, I went to the KC Reptile Expo and bought a very small, aquatic turtle for my son.
He thought it was the greatest thing ever, named him ocean, and has been very adamant in taking care of him (hes always asking about food, when he can clean it, and when hes handling it, he is very gentle and extremely protective).

Anywho, as a child is technically taking care of the turtle, im the adult here and MUST learn more about aquatic turtles.

Now they look like yellow bellied sliders, but the man who sold Ocean to us said he was just a regular aquatic turtle.

Is there anything I need to know besides, warm-ish water, good land access and a hide for this little dude?
Hes currently feeding on a combination of aquatic turtle pellets (which dissolve and get gross in the water (are they supposed to do that?)), and meal worms every now and again.

Any tips, tricks and/or suggestions on how to improve this little guys life would be most appreciated.
Thank you!

Jaymie
