I have a sulcata tortoise named Squishy. (named so because when she first came to us through our reptile rescue, she was so malnurished that her shell would squish under your hands when you grabbed her. But with some proper housing, calcium and UV lighting her shell is in good shape now)
And we have a 3 toed box turtle in the rescue that is waiting for a good home. He came to us with the name Shelldon, so, That is what we call him too.

I have an 8 month old snapping turtle. His name is Buddy, but I mostly call him "knucklehead" (which one of my coworkers always yell at me about).

He was found as a hatchling in my backyard last September, after a really bad storm. I took him in with intentions of raising him during the winter months then releasing him in the spring. Well, I became very attached to him and now can't bear the thought of letting him go.

i have a stinkpot or common musk turtle hatchling named deven. were not sure if its a boy or girl yet, becaues it's a hatchling and i found it on a lake, but i refer to it as he. it was last summer i found him on the lake at my camp and he was just so cute and scared ( i mean, cmon! you've got 20 ppl runnin on an extremely small beach, the thing's petrified!) that i decided to keep it . my mom gave in so i had to ask the owner of the camp, cuz if i kept it and it was against the rules we'd probably get in mega trouble. so he said, " if you have the write supplies, sure!" so i went to petco, got a small cage, some food, and some chlorine take-away stuff, and wella! i had deven . however if he ends up being a girl i might name him delilah. who knows! i'm getting him a bigger cage once my friends beardie gets a bigger one and her eastern painted gets a bigger one ( i get the turtles, of course!) do you have a turtle or are you thinking of getting one? if you are, musks only grow to be 4-5 inches or so ( if you can find them, though i've heared they make great pets while reasearching, so they should be somewhere). well, i live in saugus, so were you are they might be ilegal. k off i go! bye!

I have two painted turtles, Alice and Lucy. Alice is actually a male and we found this out 2 summers ago but kept the name. Lucy is younger and we are pretty sure that she is a she. There are many advances made by Alice to Lucy but thank goodness...Lucy shows no interest at all. I temporarily have a snapper turtle named Crush, that I got as a hatchling that was found this past September. We didn't think it would have a good chance since the fall was so cold. We will be taking him back to where he was found this weekend actually. I am a little sad about it but I know he will be much happier in the river where he came from.

I have a I have an Eastern Painted Turtle, named Leroy. He is about a month old. I'm not sure if its a he or she, but someone at my dads work found him and named him that. So I kept it. And I too am so attached and cant let him go! I got him on a whim and had to do alot of research quick, but I think I'm doing pretty good!

I have a horsefield tortoise named Donatello, he is a right character and is addicted to his holistic dry food, if I don't give it to him everyday he won't eat his veg!! He is a pain and loves to come out of his viv whenever he gets the chance!

I have 2 Eastern Box Turtles, Napier and Kathryn. My sister had found Napier while she was in michigan. He was terrified in his shell when he was found sitting in the middle of a very busy road (Napier Rd. Thats how he got his name ) She grabbed him and put him in the car. She felt so bad for him, not knowing how he got so far from where he was, so she decided to take him home and give him a loving place to stay! He was about 5 to 10 years old when we got him. We're not sure, since we found him wild. The vet told us he has about another 40-50 years in him!
About 7 years or so after we got Napier, I decided to get my sister another Box Turtle for Christmas, since she loved Napier so much and cared for him so well. And thats how we came to have Kathryn. They are both adorable, inquisitive little guys, and are so much fun to have :]

Sorry for the incredibly small picture! Its all I had at the moment! :mrgreen:
