Hi! Introduce yourselves here.

Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:03 pm **Hello!**

Hi!
I'm a new user, obviously.
My name is Polly and I have 5 turtles. 3 RES (Nana, Nana and Neko) and 2 MAP (Lyra and Vega). The eldest are 5 years and the youngest only 1. All of them are females.

I have loved raising these guys. It's amazing to see them all with such different personalities.

So I finally thought I would represent them in the wide world right here!

Hello and welcome to the forum. I love the user name

Wow 5, that's a handful. Do you have a pond?

I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd love to see them sometime. Please post a few pics if you are able.

Cheers!

I have an outdoor indoor set up being built in my new house so the are currently in tanks (and the bath tub). And yes, they are quite the handful.

Here's the couple of pics I have on hand.

Here's big Nana with the girl who gave her to me as a gift when she was only super little

Lyra and Vega are inseparable

Welcome to the site! The colored gravel looks nice but you shouldn't have any type of gravel in the tank.

Great turtles and well behaved!
If brought Fred that close to my face I'd be missing a part of my nose.

Ironically I actually know this BUT! Neko is an odd ball and fancy's herself a ninja. She is always burying herself in the gravel ^^. Originally Neko was a friend of mines but she left for China so I took Neko on. This is when I discovered her odd behaviour. She doesn't eat the rocks I swear. Just covers herself in them and peers out at you. I'll try to get a picture of it so you can see. Strangely enough, my chinese soft shell (RIP) did the same thing. Hence why I called him Mole haha!

Here's a couple more of my guys:

Spot the Mole (Chinese Soft Shell)

Is is far from impressed:

My big babies just before we moved house (hence the tank)

Mole, the night I won him from a nightmarket in a ring toss game

Neko expects mummy to NOT use flash photography.
