Little Turtles ...yay :)

Trachemys scripta scripta?
They're sweet. Still small ones?

Sternotherus Oderatus (musc Turtle) Yeah they are tiny about a few cm

I've had a T. scripta elegans long time ago. was not more than 3cm or so It grew quite big though. And they are pretty big predators, a friend had some of them communally with Chinese water dragons but didn't end up too well.

Do they live in the water all the time?

They are in it most of the time they only come out for a short while to bask in the light lol

Wait till they get bigger, theyll stink and bite anything near them. watch your fingers.
Constant water changes cause they got no digestive system, the bad points go on and on.
But... they ARE awesome and I miss all mine.
Bestest was the big Common Snapping Turtle I had... VERY nasty.
Great pics hun and wonderful animals.
Enjoy them.

Aw i will lol im ready for the cleaning hehehe oh mark while yr here im gonna send emp on monday 1st class hope its warm enough they will be ok over night wont they? Knew i should have done it last week lol but jamies been away hasnt he lol

Yeah matey, should be fine. Thank you. I'm hoping to send you a small pressie as well on Monday. Nowt special and I can only tell/ show you what it is in the grown up bit.

ooooh exciting stuff

Bex. They are very cute. What do they eat? How big do they get? Once they hit adult how big is the tank gonna have to be?

An adult will need at least a 3 ft tank they grow to abpit 4/5" they eat specialy made pellets but they will take frozen blood worms small insects chopped earthworms aquatic snails and vegatations like duckweed water lettuce and water hyacinth, these lil guys are ony a few cm atm but will get a massuve tank for when they get bigger

They also love Goldfish.

I fed my red-eared with chicken and shrimps
Get a good filter in their tank. It'll save you couple of water changes.

ive got a good filter that was my main concern also just been reading that its best to feed them outside the tank in another tub with water so they 1 get used to being handled and 2 dont make mess....however we are considering getting a load of neon tetras to put in...any thoughts on that? these wont take goldfish just yet lol

Adorable is the word!
I like the underwater structures you placed in there.
Very creative. How big do they get?

About 4-5"

Thats not too big. Nice!
They're the cutest when they are this small.. lolz

Just so you know, your turtles will chase the fish around so much that they will get so stressed that they probably get sick. When they get sick, the turtles will be able to actually catch them and get a not so healthy meal Also, before using goldfish as food, read this.

Btw cute little turtles! Wish I could have some

Not such a good idea then lol

You use dead fish not live and just as a variety in the diet. Also, turtles have a very poor digestive system and pass almost anything right through. I've fed turtles on chicks and they've come out recognisable (snapping turtle)

Gonna get some blood worms or something i think

i love turtles!!!!!
thats it,my fish are getting an eviction notice.

Lol mine did a few weeks ago lol hehehe
