well I always breed and sell during the summer. (mostly turtles... but many other types of reptiles and amphibians)

and I also breed to release the babies into the wild (immediatly) doing that with painted turtles .. with the help of some other people, we now have a large and growing colony of western and southern painted turtles in mid texas. (hill country area)

I and amphibiandude have even seen some western/southern painted hybrids.

these are my first babies of the of the season ... and am getting ready to breed more adults.

Arent you a kid? Like 13 or 14? Somthing like that? I think I recall from earlier posts you said you were kinda young. If so how does one on an assumably low income afford so many animals? You must have cool, wealthy, tolerant parents. Please correct me if I am wrong.

That’s a lot of turtles! I think taking care of one is hard enough. But, then again I have to clean my turtles tank every 4-5 days so I guess it’s hard to me.

I live in Texas to! If I tried to sell Turtle hatchlings around here I would maybe sell one or two at the most. I live in a small town less than 3,000 people.

Hey Reptilefreak23 i wasnt judging anyone. I dont see how in the world you got that idea. All I am saying is that you have a lot of experience and responsibility for someone your age. I’m very impressed! I would be interested to see the facilities in which you perform all of your extensive work! To house and provide the correct husbandry I imagine you have an entire wing of your house dedicated to your projects.
I was only commenting that I imagine your parents are very supportive of your intrests if not financially.
Please post pics of your animals/facilities. I cant imagine all this research etc.. is conducted in your bedroom.
You also mentioned that you have introduced painted turtles to the local fauna. Were these a declining native species? I hope they were not introduced to an area where they were not native.
You should try to get some college credit for your work or at least apply for some grants. Do you live near a major zoo? Maybe you could work in the herp Dept. as a volunteer? Until you are old enough for them to hire you and offer you tuition reimbursement for you herpetology degree.

Good Luck
Mike D.
