lol what the hell

I'm sorry, some of these were really funny. I can't even imagine how 4 nine inch turtles would even fit into a 20 gallon tank. I think they'd just smoosh each other in a 5 gallon. Is a 5 gallon even nine inches long? Turtle stack!

Heh, I forgot about this thread. Where to begin...

If you need any help, I could compile the list and section them into categories or somethin'.

Need to figure out how people search and look for information. Compared to most sites, I think we're pretty well organized.

A bit spin-off of aponfortimmy's question.....

And my first turt Squirt did get a small piece before thanks to my wife... Weird thing, he begged for more of it! never did it again cause we dont know if its bad for them.

Best way to organize it is just the way you did the rest of the site.. Example: Food & Nutrition questions with Food & Nutrition section.. just start a sticky under the proper section isted as " generally asked ( ) questions". Have the Questions in one color and the answers in another. But the first thing to do is... Go through all the questions, categorize them, answer them, then post.. Start off with a few Microsoft word docs so you can go through them and answer them when you can. Save Doc when your done.. Copy & paste into topic when all are answered for that section. might be overthinking it, but a thought.

I can also help as well. Im sure with a bit of shuffling through the site I can find answers.

I found the answer to this out the other day. Mine didn't break the skin but he sure readjusted his grip a few times and I was sure he'd tear a hunk of skin off.

I am always worried when I go to handle them, that Squirt (4"") is gonna snap me while Im not paying attention. I didnt handle him that much when he was a tiny guy so he is pretty jumpy and will snap at me, just never caught me yet... He did however get the handle of the toothbrush! That grippy rubbery stuff never knew what hit it!
