YAY ... She has decided ( sort of ) to move here *G*
I am pretty excited.. well and nervious.. but happy.
Joe's mom has decided to move in June to here unless sooner ( hopefully ). When she comes she wants to get a pet and since she can't have a kitten she is going to get a turtle *lol* Woman after my own heart *G* We went over all sorts of pets she could have rabbit, ferret, hampster, fish, ect basically things we already have cages for.. she decided upon a turtle... So i was like what kind does she want secula ( they grow big though ), a box turtle, or red slider ( which can get big ).
But anyways she will be staying with us until a trailer opens up.. unless one has opened up by then. We are going to save back if we get that Subsidation check incase there is a trailer open then so she could just move directly into a trailer... i think she would like to be independant as fast as possible.

Make sure she double checks what the needs of a turtle is...my friend has a red eared slider and they have to have pretty decent size aquariums...with swim area and a basking area...though I know the different breeds have different needs. She'll want to get a set up done before she actually gets the turtle.

Aww, I'm so glad. It's not an easy choice for her, leaving all her friends and such. Do you have places nearby that she can easily go to and make new friends?
Wishing you all my best!

That is awesome that she has agreed to come live with/by you where you can help her out when needed. Turtles are great! Yes, they can get big and the set up can need to be a good size. I'd just find out what kind she wants and do the research. I had a turtle for 10 years that someone had gotten from a local lake around here and she never got bigger than a 50 cent piece. I have no clue why that was, or what kind of turtle she was either, but she had a set up in my house that took up a whole room. I don't think it's legal to buy turtles that small from a pet store though. I believe they have to be a minimum of 4 inches.
Anyhow, I hope she finds one she really likes and that this all works out very well for everyone. Grandma's close to grandbabies is never a bad thing!Tia jeanDH, Brad married 10/31/07
