Hey everyone im new to the site yet I have visited often. you can see my pictures on the south and central american cichlid page of my 210. But before i was into fish i had a life long love of reptiles. mainly starting from my mother. a am glad there is a forum for reptiles. and i would like to share my experiences.

I went as a child with my mother to the botanical gardens when she was working there as a botanist and Georgia master gardener. so I have a love for the plants and poison dart frogs that they housed. and in those years of visiting and going with my mother i helped to take care of quite a few reptiles such as alligator snapping turtles, iguanas of all species and numerous other snakes and lizards that i cant fully remember. I only remember the turtle and igauna because they were my homies and i would hold them and play with them every time i had a chance to visit though the alligator snapper was the size of a bathtub i was allowed to feed him, and the iguanas were .

other than that i have bred leapord geckos at one point owning over 200. and bearded dragons. i Have sold most of them and given the rest to freinds over the years.

I still own my first Ever reptile. His name is spyke and he is a uro and he is probably 8 or 7 1/2 years old.

and these are 5 red eared slider babies i found maybe two weeks ago. they were popping right out of the ground so i dug them out and since its cold outside i was like maybe they would do better of with me.

Cool reptiles. If you have the herps, you need to post here more often or buy some Valtrex, depending on whether that was a connotative or denotative title.

yea man they are native to Georgia so i see the babies often. lol couldnt resist to pick them up this time.
 
Are you sure they are RES? They could be painted turtles from what I can see of the carapace and also they lack the red "ear" markings...
