Yes I would diffenately say the snapping turtle counts! I have a California Desert Tortoise. ALthought these are protected species they are available for adoption through the Joshua Tree Toroise Rescue, so if anyone wants to adopt a tortoise check out their site. Here is the link:JTTR



A black bear, wow! Some people have river otters as pets too. They sure are cute! I will be ading some new critters to our house this weekend. I will be aquiring two female hoglets, baby hedgehogs. One cinnamon and one Snowflake to breed with my male chocolate hedgie. Then I will also be getting three pair of Short Tailed Opposums. And this weekend is when I pick up my Geoffroys kitten! Whoo hooo! Boy, I will have a lot to bring home this week. I am sure there will be something else at the expo that will catch my attention. hehe
