BD, the law that banned the sale of turtles and tortoises under 4" was lifted last spring.
I can't believe we were so careful and lost him! It amazes me that we can drag in torts that are at deaths door and with care they thrive. Here we had him vet checked and even with the furnace down he had his basking light on and this happens. We were so excited when we got him. We had even kept him quarantined all this time because of him being so young. If we get another tort, it will have to be at least a yearling. We get too attached. When we took Daisy in, knowing she was sick and spent so much on her surgery people looked at us like we've lost our minds. But she is very active now and enjoys life. She was scared to death when we got her, now nothing bothers her. Sorry about the long post, just wanted to get my feelings out.
