Who Is TheTurtleXtreme
As you may know, my name is Andrew Renberg. I have been a turtle owner for 10 years. My first turtle was an African Side Neck (ASN) turtle. An African Side Neck turtle is actually a good starter turtle for children. At the moment I own 4 Red Eared Sliders, 1 Stink Pot, 1 Pink Bellied Side Neck, and 1 Mississippi Map turtle. I have owned an African Side Neck (ASN), Yellow Eared Slider and a Cumberland Slider. I have rescued: Midland Painted, Eastern Painted, Western Painted, 2 baby Red Eared Sliders, and 2 African Side Necks (ASN). I have found homes for every one of them but the Red Eared Sliders. I now own the baby Red Eared Sliders. Their pictures are at the top of this page. I have had to save a turtle with major wounds on its shell. From what I was told, the owners dog got a hold of the turtle. When I got there, the sink was full of blood with two chunks missing from the turtles shell. It was a sad sight, but I did all I could. Through the years I have researched everything I could about Semi-Aquatic turtles. TheTurtleXtreme is prepared to answer all your questions. Please feel free to challenge my knowledge of turtles. I do know quite a bit about Sea turtles as well as Tortoises, but I don't know everything. I don't like to think I know everything about turtles, because there is always something to learn. My mind constantly thinks about how I can change and make my turtle tanks better.
