Introduction
Both of us had baby turtles when we were hardly more than babies ourselves. The turtles didn't survive long, because we knew so little about their proper care. We're older now, and hope to get wiser. We'll get turtles when we learn more about them.
Are you mostly interested in keeping turtles and/or tortoises as pets, or in preserving their habitats to assure their survival in the wild? Are you interested in other reptiles, amphibians or other animals? What other specific interests do you have?
We used to keep baby turtles in the tiny plastic bowls (with a tiny plastic palm tree) that came with the turtles many years ago. This time we'll buy an aquarium large enough to provide a decent home for whatever species of turtle we decide to get.
Describe the kinds of turtles or tortoises you keep or have kept as pets. How are they housed and fed? Have any of them produced offspring while in your care? Do you have any questions, or can you offer advice, about their care?
When we were children we had either red-eared sliders or common map turtles, which were the kind sold in Woolworth's. When we learn at this club's meetings which species would thrive best in a very large aquarium, we'll start keeping turtles again.
Do you have any turtles, tortoises, incubators, shelters, books or other items you'd like to exchange with other club members? Have you decided whether or not you can attend our next monthly meeting? Please submit your RSVP on that meeting's page.
We have none of these items to share now, but will as we come closer to purchasing our turtles. We expect to attend meetings whenever we're not obligated to be elsewhere. We've already signed up for two of the next three club meetings. See you there.
Additional Information
"We learned about the turtle club through the other club we joined recently, the Geneva Area Pond Club. Having two such clubs so close to our new home is a bonus the estate agents neglected to mention. We're really glad we live here now."
What Beverly Whitmore is saying about this Meetup Group
We were surprised to see turtles and tortoises galore at each club meeting, brought for a visit by their proud owners. We also saw the turtles or tortoises living in the homes and gardens of club members where the meetings are held. Seeing the different species up close is the best way to learn about them.
