Wow they are so gorgeous. I thought turtles had to live in tanks of water!

I've had 6 aquatics and loved them just as much but in very different ways.
The upkeep of an aquatic is very different than a box turtle and for me much more labor intensive.
I'm currently trying to decide whether or not to call it quits on aquatics and sell off my equipment or hold on to it. I lost my last aquatic in September of last year and still have my aquarium running--as it had 5 or 6 fish in it. I took the passings of my last two aquatics very hard and I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to deal with it again.
It is pretty convienient (sp) that boxies hibernate 5 months out of the year. So I only have to care for them 7 months of the year. Not that I don't worry about them 12 months of the year.
