Creating a loving home for turtles isn't easy.  Watching Mother Nature in action is important!
Below are some pictures of turtles in the wild.  We do our best to recreate mother nature and give our turtles a happy home.  
Our turtles are fed a natural diet consisting of  a variety of foods that they would eat in the wild including live earthworms,
fish, & crickets, squash, carrots, apples and more!  Our turtles also get plenty of exercise including roaming around in the
sun and swimming.  Of course, just like in the wild, they love to stretch out and  bask in the sun!!!

Just like children, Turtles love to stop and smile for the camera!!!
Below are some pictures of our Turtles and Tortoises.
Sam, our newest addition!!  Sam is an Eastern Painted Turtle who was born in January 2008!  Here he is at 2 Months!  
He is about the size of a Quater in these pictures!  
Teddy, one of our Sulcata Tortoises, may fit in the palm of my hand now, but in 20 years he will weigh over 100 pounds.  
Sulcata tortoises are the 3rd largest tortoise in the world and can live over 100 Years!!!
Tex, our three-toed box turtle, was the only turtle that didn't run from the camera.  With a name like TEX can you guess what
state you find these turtles in???  He has 5 Toes on his front legs but only 3 on his hind legs!
Raphael is one of our "Camera SHY" Red Eared Sliders!!
Michaelangelo is not so shy.  He may look tame but don't put your fingers near his mouth!!
