wow.. what a great set up !!

A few years back I saved a turtle that the crows had overturned and were pecking at it.. ruddy crows!! And last year a turtle was trying to cross the highway so we stopped and I picked him up, put him in the back of the ute, and we released him near our dam. Every now and then I see him. But boy did my hands stink for days! Are they naturally smelly if you handle them?? I love turtles though regardless if they are smelly!

I've never had any turtles, but I like looking at them in pet shops etc. Like tortoises they fascinate me - the colours & shapes of their shells are beautiful.

Not really.As long as you have the basics covered,the right lighting etc,there pritty easy to keep.Just a little expensive to start of with.
