Brand new member here! Just dropping in to introduce myself! I’m a freshly licensed captive breeder, with a growing population of red-eared sliders and eastern painted turtles! Happy to be here! And this forum looks both fun and informative!

Welcome to the forum! What made you decide to become a captive breeder?

Hi there, Steve! Captive breeding turtles is actually a family business, and I’m taking over for my uncle who’s retired from running a small reptile shop! We have about three acres of fenced-in ponds for our turtle families so they are never removed from their natural habitat! However I’m still very new to breeding and raising turtles which is why I was stoked to find an awesome website like this where all newbie questions can be asked and answered!
