This a hello from Pa. Been raising some turtles for about 6years now. Im 20years old and well thats enough about me so on too my collection. Well from my name you could obviously guess Painted Turtles are my favorite turtles.

I own 5 E.Painteds, 1 W.Painted and 1 S.Painted. I did at one time own a midland but it unfortunately only lived a week after i bought it from a reptile show.

I own 5 stinkpots(common musks). It was alot more, being a smaller turtle a large stock tank made a good home for a couple of them but been rehoming to make room.

Make room for what? Well res of coarse! I own 4 res now. I just rescued 2 res as of 3/26/09 from a women who housed them in a 20 gallon tank together. At 6.5inch and 9.5inch I cant imagine them in there together. My 2 res are 4.5inch and 5inch. So thats why i needed to make room they are 2 very large res i just got.

Anyway So thats my story and a little bit of background. I will post pics in gallery on all my turtles oh almost forgot i own a n. dbt also. So as you can see i own a good collection of turtles.

Welcome. Yes, you do have quite the turtle zoo. As a keeper of 3 EPs, I can attest they're great turtles. :D

If you don't have one already, it sounds like you need a pond. What kind and how big are the set-ups you have for them?
