47. Dummies::Understanding Turtles And Tortoises Home At Home Pets Understanding turtles and tortoises. Understandingturtles and tortoises Adapted From turtles tortoises For Dummies. http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-1988,subcat-PETS.html

Home At Home Pets Understanding Turtles and Tortoises Understanding Turtles and Tortoises Adapted From: When you think of turtles, do you think of the tiny quarter or half-dollar-sized turtles that used to be sold in pet stores (and in some places still are)? If so, you're not alone. That image is the one that comes to mind when many people think of turtles. However, those tiny little turtles (most of whom died shortly after their purchase) are only one of many different types of turtles and tortoises, many of which can be long-lived, healthy, hearty pets. So what's the difference? Turtles and tortoises are known as chelonians, from the Greek word for "tortoise," chelona. Chelonian refers to all turtles and tortoises, no matter whether they live in the ocean, in fresh water, or on land. The term turtles applies to chelonians that live in or around water. Sea turtles, for example, never leave the ocean except to lay their eggs. Other turtles are more or less aquatic, depending on their species. The sliders, mud, bog, and leaf turtles are all found close to fresh water. Terrapins are aquatic turtles that people frequently eat. Many terrapins live in and close to brackish salt water. Box turtles are primarily terrestrial (land roving) but are almost always found within walking distance of water. See Figure 1 for an example of a turtle.

49. Hibernation Guidelines For Turtles And Tortoises Hibernation Guidelines for turtles and tortoises. In a like manner, some turtleand tortoise species will do the same thing during periods of drought. http://www.anapsid.org/hibernation.html

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated August 11, 2002 Hibernation Guidelines for Turtles and Tortoises Paula Morris . Originally published in The Bridge , September 1994 Hibernation is nature's mechanism to protect its cold-blooded creatures (and some warm-blooded animals as well) in cold weather or when food and water are scarce. Dormancy also seems to affect the reproductive cycles of chelonian species, whether non-tropical or tropical, and zoos often provide a "cooling period" to stimulate breeding activity when temperatures normalize. To keep the information general, I'm dividing turtles and tortoises into only two categories: non-tropical (those species that do hibernate), and tropical (those species that do not). Turtles and tortoises can hibernate up to a full eight months of the year, depending upon latitudinal location. The rule-of-thumb to guide you on your research should be: The farther from the equator the species occurs naturally, the more likely it is to hibernate; the closer to the equator, the less likely. Which Species Need Hibernation Or A Period Of Dormancy?

50. The Ontario Turtle & Tortoise Society A society for all who are interested in turtles and tortoises. http://members.aol.com/WALDIAL/otts.htm

Last update 01/07/2004 A society for all who are interested in turtles and tortoises. Our goals are: To share knowledge and information as to the proper care and raising of turtles and tortoises and all aspects pertaining to them. To use our combined voice and abilities to benefit the future of turtles and tortoises in the province of Ontario through education and conservation.. The society publishes a quarterly newsletter with articles on husbandry, herpitoculture, natural history, and conservation. It features regular columns on turtles and tortoises in the news, turtles and tortoises on the internet and computer, as well as staying up to date on regulations concerning turtles and tortoises in Ontario. All members will receive at least four newsletters for one years membership. OTTS UPDATE Over the past few months the OTTS has been paralyzed by a major computer malfunction. In fact the hard drive got fried effectively turning the computer into a pile of junk. It has taken some time and expense to procure a new computer but we are now back to full operating standard. Despite this major set back we have kept busy working on the newsletters and now have #19 complete and #20 more than 90% finished. Members should look for these in the mail over the next couple of weeks. The work on a new web site has also been on hold due to the computer failure and will now begin again. Many thanks to all for your patience through this problem. 01/07/2004 To see the title page of the latest newsletter (#18)

(Join MaTurtleRescue) Click Here to subscribe to RussianTortoise Home Massachusetts Turtle Rescue, Inc., is incorporated under the State of Massachusetts Department of Corporations (General Laws, Chapter 180), and is recognized by the Federal Government as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. MTR provides rescue and rehabilitation for all species of turtles and tortoises. The above picture is just one example. (click on the picture to learn the whole story). The rescue is located in Springfield, MA and was founded by Debbie Zajchowski. MTR advocates the humane treatment of these wonderful creatures and devotes all spare time to the rescue and rehabilitation of these animals. Massachusetts Turtle Rescue provides permanent homes to abandoned and abused turtles and tortoises, as well as those that have had the misfortune of the pet trade. Many of the animals arriving at the rescue come in with various injuries; such as, broken or missing limbs, cracked shells, and other traumatic injuries sustained from being hit by a car, or dog attacks. Some are in ill health and are suffering from illnesses such as respiratory infections, parasitic infections and many other life-threatening illnesses. Urgent Care If you are interested in owning a turtle or tortoise, MTR recommends that you either adopt from a rescue organization or purchase a captive bred animal through a reputable breeder. It is also recommended that you read as much as you can about the species interested in owning as these are not easy care animals and each species has individual needs. It is also worth noting that you find a competent reptile veterinarian and have met with this person prior to the purchase or the adoption in case the time comes when you may need one. This veterinarian must have extensive knowledge with these animals because their needs are much different than that of a mammal. Many veterinarians do not possess the skills needed to properly diagnose these animals or to successfully treat them.
