Hello All :)
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 9:43 amHey everyone.
My name is Phil, and i recently aquired 2 RES rescues. I work in a small reptile shop and we got a call from a guy who was going to toss his 15 turtle collection into the nearest river if we didnt take them.
So we did and now we have 3 ponds full of RES that we need to rehome. 
Anyways, the ones i took were, a 5-6" Male Rio Grande Red Ear, and a 4-5" female RES. Theyre so awesome, very inquisitive and fantastic eaters. I was quite impressed as id always overlooked RES as interesting, and found them to be too common for my taste but i love these guys!
Unfortunately for now they share a 55g long tank (48x13x18in), as my space is a bit limmited and i took them in a pinch, but I am designing a turtle table for them built around a 150g stock tank(6x2x2ft).
Anyways, heres some pictures of "Jack and Sally"(M'lady picked the names
)
Jack and Sally
Their home for now.
Cheers
-Phil.
