Do you like turtles?
“I like turtles.”
As do a lot of people evidently, we see it in the hundreds of memes regarding turtles & tortoises running about the social networks. We wanted to look into the chelonian ‘culture’ as it were. With the help of the Turtle & Tortoise Preservation Group & our incredible guest panel of Russ Gurley, James Badman, Michael Thathuvaswamy, Daniel Parker of Sunshine Serpents & others we examine the legislation regarding size, conservation, & even sustainable harvest of species for food.
No Chelonian broadcast would be complete without turtle & tortoise captive care. So grab a cup of your favourite beverage and join as we discuss the preservation of all Chelonians & specifically the Spider tortoises (Pyxis arachnoides) and Flat-tailed tortoises (Pyxis planicauda) to be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). If you want just the audio version please visit our Audio Library.
We invite your support to the following open comment session running UNTIL September 08, 2014

Instead of replying to direct questions if he was joking or not he decided it was a good idea to do otherwise. Welcome to the herpetoculture community Mr.Shelton.
