Reptiles - November 2006

I already have a Paint turtle, and I love him. I thought he needed a friend, so I bought a baby Razor Back Musk. Then I found out they can smell bad and have very long necks, and could easily take a finger off. Is a Mississippi Map turltle a good choice, as far as making friends with other turtles and people? I want 2 different kinds of turtles as pets. I will really enjoy them. I don't want to give the Razor back up, but either do I want to lose a finger or two. Please help. I have a choice of a Red Ear Slider, Yellow Belly Cooter, Golf Coast Soft Shell, Fla.Soft Shell, Razor Back Musk, or a Southern Paint. Which would be my best bet? It will have to have the same enviroment as my Paint turtle. Thanks for your input.

I take good care of them, (they are small water turtles) I give them baths about evry 2 or 3 days and their rocks are clean. Everything is very clean, is this normal or does it have like a disease on a shell.

my friend tells me I over feed mine. I got her and I a miss. mud a year ago, mine is 3 times the size of hers, mine is also alot more active. the only thing i can figure out is that she keeps the water temp at 75 degrees, and doesn't feed it enough. I keep mine at 85 degrees. I try to tell her that her turtle should be growing at least a
little bit, she gets upset with me. So why isn't her turtle growing??? Please give me some suggestions I can tell her.
Thanks

I have my turtle for about 2 months now. But a month ago it stops eating and started to sleep. Before when i pull his feet he'll tug it back. But now it doesn't. someone told me that he must be hibernating. Is that true? I sometimes feel he's dead. He's still small. And by the way, I don't know what type of turtle he is. how should i know? i just bought him in a small Chinese street market.

2 Snakes are coiled round a branch in a glass cage. "What kind of snake am i?", asked the one snake to the other. "Why you are a constrictor" replied the other snake. "And how do i kill". he asked again." You kill by crushing your victim to death", he replied. " So i dont kill with venom from my fangs" he asked. " No as i said before you crush all the breath out of them, why do you ask" "Well "he said "i was getting very worried". "Why are you worried my slimy freind" Looking up at him he said, "Cause ive just bit my bloody tounge"!!
