My Dad used to bring home turtles he found on construction sites, ... I fell in love with turtles and snakes, and couldn't get enough of it.

My family was helping to manage my Dad's construction company, ... So next thing I know in 1997, I'm a New Englander again! And with the woods and the call of wild; I decided to give it a second chance.

Of course, we probably should have left them where they were, ... But when we'd bring them home, they'd lay eggs, and next thing you know we'd have baby turtles running around. I love nature and wildlife, and it's always been a part of my family.

It was something unexpected. I didn't know this was going to happen. I just wish more could have been done to prevent it.
