[mixmaster jay]

Hey Jay, Can I PM You About A Turtle Im Looking To Buy?

 

[Davo86]

Cool Turtles Jay, been meaning to ask what sort of pond setup you have for your bigger two? take it they aren't left out all year round?

Been handling the smallest yellow bellied turtle i've ever seen today, as we have just had our first shipment of turtles at work now the breeding season is over

 

[Bebobb]

I never knew that you had turtles? How long have you had them? You didn't get that rio that long ago!
