never dared get hets before cuz of the innate good faith & patience required til they mature and finally prove out, but found some for sale in the above linked ad by Pete. i really wanted his lemon albino, as he seemed so healthy & fairly priced too, but regretfully i couldn't afford to do so at these hard times, in the perpetual war economy and all.
so, gave Pete a call to check things out a bit. before i even committed to a research/ed/breeder purchase of some established hatchlings/juvies, he provided a reference for the source of his animals (morph breeder extraordinaire Gerard Siatkowski of FL?), where to send via paypal (Snakeknitter@#.com), gave me lots of advice on care and treatment of common ailments that i might someday encounter in my beloved livestock, and recommended some food (ie, zoo med growth formula, mealworms, aqueon shrimp pellets) and medicaments (ie, turtlefix, betadyne).
he sent me a text with the tracking# last nite and this morning bright & early i received a big box with carefully packed deli cups conaining lotsa moist spaghnum moss and the precious, plump turtle babies that i hope will prove out once they mature & breed in a few years or so.
perhaps will post update pic of them upon my return to FC (God-willing) in about 6 mos!
happy holidays & new year, Pete et al FCers!
