5/13/2012: I am finally retired and will be spending more time catching up with many planned revisions, writing new material, and adding more pictures. Today I am adding important revisions to Tour 1 - Baby Land Turtles dealing with lighting and heating. If you raise baby box turtles you will want to read it.

I am planning some major changes to our adoptions page in the near future to help turtles connect with people. If you have any thoughts on this issue, drop me an email. And would you believe we still have six baby painted turtles available that hatched last year. 

Happy herping,
Tom
