I was at a couple of petshops today getting food for the hatchling water turtles I brought home, I didn't tell everybody about those :oops: Bad Dan :shock: . I'll take pictures :D . Well at one petshop they had one Ornate box turtle. I took one look at her and knew she was a Desert box turtle, Terrapene ornata luteola. I had to get her of course, because it just so happens a friend I met at the expo is sending me a male :D . Not sure how much luckier I can get :wink: . Here she is. She even came with a cactus spine stuck in her neck a little bit.
