This is Annie she is a Eastern Painted


She's in bad need of a shed.


The one on the left is Isis she is a Concentric Diamondback Terrapin. The one on the right is Tiki he is a Northern Diamondback Terrapin.

I think these two have a slight bit of curling going on so I have adjusting their diet.

I will try and get pics of my other 3. They are severly camera shy.

Nice turtles.

I love those DBT'S

I really like that first pic of Annie, she has a very interesting stare

Woow Diamondbacks and painteds! Best turtles you can own!

I agree

They are adorable!

Hello Tammi,
Am i wrong, or these DBT look familiar? They look so much bigger in this pic!

no you are not wrong. They are some of your babies. I think they look bigger because I was a lot closer with this pic. They are only around 2 inches. Haven't measured them lately. Do they look like they have curling to you? Or am I being a worry wart again?

Naa....They look pretty awesome to me. I have an inch and a half one that has the same thing. It's just a sign of growth.
Check it out for yourself

Diamondbacks....You have small DBT as well. Do yours have the same thing or is it abnormal?

Ok so I measured all my babies just because I had mentioned it. The DBT were larger than I thought. Isis (concentric) is 2.75 inches and I'm leaning towards her being female Tiki is 3 inches and leaning towards male for him. Tiki is the pushy one who has been that way from the beginning so he gets more food. Isis is much shyer so she doesn't get as much.

My RES are both male Slider is 5.5 inches and Luckie is 4 inches.

My painted ones are Annie is 4.25 and I think is actually male but not really sure (has a long thin tale but cloclia (sp) is closer to the shell. Moonie is only 2.25 inches has been my slowest grower but that's because Annie is a pig when it comes to food. unsure of Moonies sex still.

Well all diamondbacks have a tiny bit of curl to their shells. All of mine have pretty much doubled in size during the summer and are at 3inches but they only got a tiny amount of curl. Guess you just cant beat the real sun?

I do try and take them out to their pool out side but not as often as I would like. Guess I need to try more often to get them out. Yours look great!
