Hi everyone,
My names Aaron, I've been taking care of a female RES named terry. I got her about 9 months ago now, and I believe she is 3 years old at this point. I acquired her only to watch her until my friend moved and got settled. Well, he still hasn't been in a position to care for her so by this point shes mine. Which is good because I've fallen in love.
I didn't know anything at first for how to care for her but I've learned along the way. She seems very healthy, happy, and active so I must be doing fine! She wasn't in the best shape when I got her. Her tank was dirty and overcrowded with rocks and she wasn't very active when my friend had her. In fact I wasn't expecting her to have much of a personality but she really does! Every day I have to give her plenty of attention by talking to her or she'll be upset until I do. I'm able to handle her a bit and she likes it, I take her out to walk around the house and in the summer I would put her out side in our fenced in garden to let her roam around while I tended to the veggies.
At first I didn't think having a turtle would be very interesting, but now I don't think I'll ever not have one, I'm definitely hooked. Happy to be a part of the forum to learn and share advice along the way

Hello and welcome to the forum. Just be careful turtles are the best escape artist , they dig and climb well also look slow but are very fast !

Welcome Aaron and Terry! RES having so much personality caught me off guard too. All the work to see them thrive is ver rewarding, so great job!
