Description

Turtles and tortoises are gaining in popularity these days. It's unfortunate that many are purchased in pet stores with no accurate instruction from the sales clerk on how to take proper care of that cute little hatchling that could grow to 200 lbs! For your reading enjoyment, the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society has a great website, sdturtle.org, that includes well researched Caresheets, pictures to identify the more common species, a poison plant list, blueprints for a large and small tortoise house, and an up to date list of upcoming events. For the very affordable price of a $35 membership it makes you eligible to adopt any of the many (many) turtles and tortoises available for no fee adoption. However, your enclosure/yard must be compatible for their needs.
