okay! can you tell me more about her? like the SCL, feeding habits,etc and yeah the tank dimensions and volume

Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2015 2:39 pm **Re: Gender Identification and Behaviour**

Yes even I think she is female !

I will have to get back with ya on her length. If I was to guess I would say 6-7" She just started basking within the last year. Before then she didn't bask. She eats just about anything I feed her. I have 3 Species of turtles in a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. Its large you can see all my posts if you click my on my avatar. Anything else you want to know just ask.

Its good that she started basking. Mine basks everyday. What is the color of the rubbermaid tank? If its black then dont the turtles have a problem with that? Is there any significant difference between transparent and opaque tanks?

I'm sorry I don't have a PC. I do everything from my phone. I have posted tons of pictures but they are hard to find. Anything in particular you want to see? I will post some new pictures for you.

This is my tank now.

I checked your post and I must say you have put quiet some efforts for your turtles. I really liked your idea of the tank and the basking dock. But since i am falling short of space ill have to figure out something else asap.
Good job!

Thank you. I wish you good luck.

Thank you! btw is it possible for you to send me some pics on the making of your basking dock or any of your posts where I can find them? coz that is the only thing bothering me right now. As I stay in India, there is no place where I can find any ready made docks. also i've heard that the ready docks give away their quality after some time. so planning to go for DIY.

My dock is actually an 100 pound piece of limestone sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. I cut the bottom out of the bucket and drilled holes in it so water could pass through.
