LOL - I know you have torties.........but on CNN they were speaking of ALL reptiles, turtles, tortoises, everything.........I don't know if either turtles or tortoises are reptiles or amphibians, whatever...I think torties are the latter......but on CNN they aren't always very clear.........one man on the show did say that lots of people were keeping turtles and tortoises these days, and another one was talking about iguanas.............which I think are also amphibians........apparently whatever the microorganism is it can be on any of these animals............ or creatures.........I don't know. I had a box turtle some years ago, and some of those little green ones (now illegal) when I was a little kid...and that's all I know. I'm a bit leery of lizards and things like that...... anyway, when I was watching it I thought of you (and Barbara A, who also has turtles or tortoises, don't know which) Peggy Amytortoise@xxxxxxx wrote: >Hi Peggy, > I appreciate you telling me about the turtles.
