Well, I was reading a www site and they referred to a shop online selling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.turtlesale.com\/rare-turtles1.html\">special need turtles<\/a>. That is, these turtles are blind. Turtles are smart and being blind is not too hard for them once they adapt to their surroundings aparently. <\/p>\n<p>I am not sure that I would want a blind turtle, but the idea certainly did intrigue me. I never thought about them having problems like that. And I think that if I ever do get a turtle though it will be a normally sighted version. <\/p>\n<p>I have some programming to do today&#8230; Speedup&#8217;s in my TeamTrack software mainly&#8230; And make it more &#8216;threaded&#8217;.
