Pet Turtle : Copyright & Reprinting Issues

Copyright

We owe our entry to the world of turtles to a lot of resources available on the net. Some of these have also formed the foundation for the 'Indianized' turtle literature on this site.

We have attempted to provide due acknowledgement and copyright information at all relevant places. However, we feel the following people and their work in turtle care, merits a special mention.

Dr. David T. Kirkpatrick [http://www.unc.edu/~dtkirkpa/]
Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care [http://www.sonic.net/~melissk/frame.html]
Valerie Haecky's Turtle Care   [http://www.turtlecare.net/]
