Tracy: Hi, I came across your site while researching deformed box turtles. I had to look twice when I saw the picture of your Scooter, he looks nearly identicle to my little guy Peanut! Peanut has a calcium deficiency due to neglect when he was young. I got him when he was about 6 years old and he was in pretty bad shape. He is 14 now and doing much better! I hope Scooter is doing well too. Your website is amazing, keep it up.

Barbara Lash: Hi Julie, First I want to thank you for all the info. and the web sites you sent to me. It was most informative about the cedar chips wow I will never use them for anything much less a pet. Also the heat rock that's in the trash as of tonight. Do your BT's hibernate in the house or outside. I knew of somebody here in Lindenhurst that had Bt for about 20yrs. They would dig in the ground and hibernate till year they frooze on the way up parents and babies we had a cold snap in early then snow so this leaves me to think they could be hurt to be left outside. Can you help me out with an answer for this situation? What is the safest for the Boxies?
Thank you,

Barbara Lash: Hi Julie, Love the picof your turtles and the cat. My heart felt feeling for the poort Boxie I saw to. Poor little darling he needed to go to a vet. How do I apply for a valid license to keep a boxie? Or even adopt a healthy boxie I don't want my turtle to die or be sick. Lots of people think Iam nuts takeing a turtle for a yearly ck. up. But I think it is a good idea. My 2 asians bt let ne oet there head and rub there shells I touch there feet to me they understand and my little boy Zeus thinks he is almost human and dwhen he wants to he can sure move pretty fast. My little girl Gabriel is more dosile and sweet. She is like a little lady. Please let me know any more info? I tried clicking on turtlesrescues and nothing happened, maybed the internet is just slow and Iam excited. Thank you.
Best Wishes

Dave Newman: You have, by far!, the best turtle
set-up that I've ever seen. Thanks
for being so great! You are definitely
the patron saint of turtles, even if
it might take the church awhile to
figure that out! ;)

Deb Moore: Hey, Julie, I just love your beautiful animals! I have posted a couple of times on the African tort group as bonevoy2004. Just wanted to let you know what a gorgeous bunch of torties - those RT's are so fab looking. And there is nothing like a pug-a-lug!

Dinees Ponton: I really enjoyed your pictures. I got my daughter a box turtle in October 2003. I have been studing up on them and learning as much as I can. I just adore her little Peete. I have gas heat and put a vaporizer in the room. I may have to do something else. I am not ready to move her to an outside habitat. I know that they are better, but I need to get all the know how down first.

Belinda: Thanks for all your input it does help. Can you tell me what palnts you have in outdoor pens.Also what materials did you use for covers on pens. I'm not that creative so I don't know materials from hardware stores. Thanks again & have a great day!Your Rt's are so nice looking I would like to in future get a male friend for Becky.I will probably be asking for you advice here also.

Dotty LeCates: Wow, I enjoyed your photos, and what a nice presentation, I want to be intouch with you,
we leave tomorrow at 10am on vacation to Ca. for
2 weeks,my daughter Holly will have the care of my 3 day olds,E.Boxers,all 4 perfect.Do I want to leave , no, I cried when I found the first one. Peaches is the mother and she seemed to be pleased I was there when they hatched. Holly may contect you, they are not eating anything yet, they stalk white worms but do not bite them.They bath and drink around 5-7 ish and appear to be very healthy. Your reply is welcomed we have never had little ones before. the male turtle left last year after being with ustree years so Iwas surprised when they hatched this year,although I knew they can carry sperm for several years Thank you and good luck Dotty

Debbie: Well done, Julie...if only every one who kept a tortoise/turtle did it as well as you. I think your site should be mandatory viewing for all keepers. Thank you very much for sharing it.

sandy: great set up. really glad to know that others do really care about the animals. love your cats. we have 3 box turtles, cats and dogs, all very spoiled and much loved. thanks for caring

Lynn Martin: Hi Julie, I really enjoyed looking at your habitats. I have 12 of the African sidenecks and just love them. How could you not love something that looks as though they are always smiling at you. I want to change my pond area so I am checking out others. Thanks for the show.

Margaret: Julie, the chair that the beautiful cat is reading the t.v. guide is exactly the same material as my dining chairs. Who says great minds don't think alike. The tortoises are beautiful just like the cats. We also have 2 dogs, 3, cats, 2 russians,3 ornate boxies, 2 grown 3-toed boxies and 4 baby 3-toed boxies. I don't know how to post pictures, so I haven't done that yet. I have sent some to Joe by scanner when I needed him to identify something. I do enjoy reading your posts and you have been a great help to others, myself included. Thank you
Margaret

Where did you get that log that suctions to the log because I need a better basking are. Also, how do the turtles climb onto it? Thanks

tell people about your backyard. You and gary are
very talented and caring on how everything is set
up. Keep up the great work.
July 17, 2003 9:15AM
Jen: Your pond set ups as well as your other set ups for you turtles and tortoises are beautiful. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to build all that. Everything looks very nice though and I'm sure your turtles are very happy with their homes and appreciative that you take good care of them.
Jen

kay burns: loved the pictures of your torts and the rest of your minagery, that must be some size of place you live in. It's heart breaking to see the state some pets get into when the owner does not know how to care for their exotic pet properely.
All the best
Kay
PS I have also joined the tortoise trust foundation course and have been reding all the emails with great interest. may even participate eventually.
July 7, 2003 4:48AM
Jean: Beautiful set up and a lovely home for the turtles. These are such cool creatures. I am impressed with the amount of detail and care you have put into their home.
June 9, 2003 5:40PM
ed in Dallas: That eastern turtle is a mess. I hope he is not in any pain. Hopefully a good diet and sunshine and he will be enjoying life. Good luck with him.
June 5, 2003 8:01PM
Pam: What a pleasure to see your tortoise friends & your set up. I admire you for taking on the little box turtle. Will he live? Poor little thing!
June 4, 2003 7:13AM
Renee: WOW! What a wonderful setup you have!! I wish I could do that much for my little Eastern Box Turtle.
June 4, 2003 7:02AM
Irene: Julie your ponds look like a wonderful place for a turtle to call home, as well as being a very attractive addition to your yard. Your dedication to saving and preserving these fascinating "critters" is to be commended. Thank you for sharing these pictures with others.

Angela Cancilla Herschel: Hope you can plant some of them in your home!

Bomszy: Julie,
Your ponds are gorgeous. I love the pic of the turtles and I think they are line dancing. :) You have quite a collection of hard shelled friends here, and they are each so special. I had never seen the white butterfly koi before.
April 2, 2003 5:56PM
Keith in PA: Hi Julie I love the ponds. I would like to make my pond larger and add more fish and a couple of turtles,who knows I just might.
March 28, 2003 7:48AM
john t: Juile you have a very nice set up . I keep two sliders in my KOI pond for over three years and have never had a problem. very few folks keep both turtles and KOI. Do you belong to Mid Atlantil Koi club ? My Pond is in a Greenhouse and between the filters and the pond about 1000 gal. I live in Philadelphil Pa.
March 7, 2003 12:48PM
Corinne McConkle: I love your pond!!! We also have an eastern box turtle named Houdini. Ours is a female. We named her that because she can disappear in a very short time. I just finished the tortoise trust course. I can't wait for the advanced course to start.
