This is Tokar- a Common Snapper

Doesn't she have such a beautiful smile!!!

And this is Squirtle! My "baby" eastern painted

These guys just recently joined my collection after their turt mom decided it wasn't safe for them, or for her 2yr old son for them to be in the house

lucky for me! heh heh

wow, they look great!! What are you keeping them in?

tokar will hopefuly by friday at the latest be moved into a 55 gallon tank which i am currently working on resealing.. so far the score in that one is
Tank:1
Me: 0

But i'm armed with 4 new bottles of silicone an determiation! so woot!
Right now though Tokar is only for the next lil bit residing in a 20 gallon Plastic tub, but is going to be upgraded to a 30 that i am desighning for her.

As for lil Squirtle, shes residing till shes bigger, in my 10 gallon with my baby softie JC who about the same size

they have proven to be good roomies, so perhaps in the future when both are large enough to graduate to a 55 gallon tank, they will be room mates there like my RES "Cooter" an my adult softie "nessie"

I wasn't expecting to get a snapper so soon as i have been working on getting stuff set up to actualy order a AST Hatchling an a Common Hatchling -_- hense my work on the 55 gallon tank but seems now i will only be getting the ast hatchling evently hopefuly by next month

That's great! Where did you get the eastern painted from? He is so beautiful! And I have to ask, is it the pic or is there some gross, gooky junk in the snapper's mouth?

lol Tokar had just took the head off a large broad head minnow when i took that pic lol she an i were showing my bf just what it woulda took for her if her son had gotten to close.

I got the painted from my friend angel, shes the one who had tokar as well. An just decided it was to dangerous for her to have the turtles wih her son. Who would either got hurt or hurt them :S.

lol an don't i know it David! Thankfuly Tokars not to bad to handel, an angel used to pet/scratch her head, but i dun think i want my fingers that close to those strong jaws, so just shell scratches from me lol. She hates for her back legs to be tickeled to lol that gets her viciously mad an she'll chase you if you do that! lol

heres a few more pics of my painted turtle just so ya can realy see all her colors

She is so prety i just love her.
