When my husband and I first got married, we adopted some turtles (had to work our way up the responsibility chain before we had children!) We loved those turtles and only because of our military moves have we given them up. This is a great book that helps describe the turtles, differentiate between male and female and provide helpful tips for their care.

This is just a must-have for anyone raising a turtle, particularly a red-eared slider.
