Just wanted to say, I got another one lol. Felt too bad about the little guy being alone. Putting this guy in the tank was hilarious, when it shells itself it looks so fat and it didn't come out for like 15 minutes. It's pretty wimpy but it's already eating and trying to eat my fish.

[blackforces get you]

aww thats cute lol. hopefully that goes well

their a bit shy at first. it takes the time lol

[coopersnow]

Yeah I'm more afraid they'll fight but so far they are fine. Big ones shy but at least it's cooperating with eating and stuff.

Umm, there's some size difference. Make sure you got a large enough tank (at least 20 gallons minimum) for those turtles or some aggression might appear.

[coopersnow]

Alright. If anything happens I'll probably got a bigger tank. There's a bigger one for only like 60$ and I just got paid.

Beautifull shell

i hope it goes well

take some more pics when she gets comfortable!

[coopersnow]

Thanks. I thought the shell looked pretty good. Was damn awkward at the store, I asked if I could check the shell and skin before buying it and they acted as though I thought they were mistreating them.

Does it look like a female? I think my smaller one might be female. I can't really name them until I know and it's kind of hard to tell.

no way to know without urine testing/blodd

[coopersnow]

Well I followed the signs but for every sign that it's one sex there's another sign that would prove it to be another.

[coreyvht]

[coopersnow]

Ah ok. I think I've named them Squirt & Mr. Bubbles sooo... lol

The larger one looks to have grown a bit quickly (large seams) so you might want to cut back on the pellets.

So you think his shell is equiproportionate to his body? Hmm.

[Sir Max]

I thought so when i first seen it to be honest

but didnt wana cause worrys cause i dont know as much as other people

[coopersnow]

Well lets just hope he'll be ok. I'll have to work on feeding them separately.
