I’m glad to see rick and vickie, amongst others, are on the same page as myself. I try to ignore the ads but get really frustrated. I have had many choice things to say on the subject but refrained. I had someone that actually became upset when they saw a pict of a juvenile macrospilota when they “actually” wanted to buy an ornate a few years ago. They told me it was not an ornate because its shell did not have the rings. :+ I decided to just hold my breath and leave them with just 2 choice words. On the other note, my terrapins dig the gravel constantly; piles, holes, and combinations of each. I hope their not possessed. The last raccoon I saw will have a tough time eating much now. Be aware that raccoons a not ususally alone. They are smart and very persistent. If your they know where your terrapin is then they will probably get it sooner or later. An adult male can pry, lift, dig, and unlock a suprising number of cages and containers. I even heard that one distracted Chun’s dog while the others feasted! :-0 Scott
