Hi everyone, my names Jackie.
I have just acquired two wonderful turtles - very much bigger than I was expecting. The female is the size of a "side plate" and the male the size of a "clenched fist" - sorry not being very accurate, but just giving you a rough idea. I've only ever had a little terrapin when I was a child and at that time not much was known about proper welfare for them. I have since done much reading, but would love any advice you could give a novice. The one thing I'm struggling on at the moment is a "landing dock" I bought the biggest size "Turtle Bank" but this wasn't suitable - it cracked - whether with the weight I'm not sure!! Hope to hear from lots of you.
