Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 11:02 pmO.k. it took about 2 2 1/2 years to get them all, but I just got the itty bitty penn cooter last night from a breeder friend, this one is NEW born but he lost the other 12 born near the same time so I took this one and we'll see how it goes, it's less then 1 inch long! I am trying to get good pics with all the same speci together {all 11 res in one shot} etc.
We have tanks inside and out, 10 big ones stay out most of the time, the rest come in and out whenever it's warm enough. I have a great builder and we turn anything that'll hold water into tanks! LOL Floating dock system from the local colledge has my turtles in it now! It's not hard to care for them, I have several breeder friends who have hundreds and being around them I pick up easy ways to do things faster...they have been breeders for over 30 years each and have learned all the tricks. I watch and ask alot! LOL One has malayan boxies eggs right now and I want another one of those since my last one didn't make it from intestinal prolapse, I got his insides back in but he went fast from infection from it. So when an egg hatches I get another one! LOL

Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 4:56 pmWell when I got my two RES I was told they were a boy and a girl so I named them Jack and Diane. They are now clearly both boys so I renamed them Bowser and Crush. 
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 10:54 pmWell I am assuming that my RES is a male..and I named him Jacob, not sure why. My other RES that just died was named Crenshaw, and my boyfriend named him.
