i have a young RES, an adult male RES, and what i think is a florida red bellied cooter or some sort of yellow bellied turtle?

Nice job on the pond. Maybe I need to look again, but were there three different turtles? One of them looks camera shy.

Love the pond, and it looks like at least 2 of your turts aren't camera shy!

[timmyng531]

yes, there are three turtles.

i've had the small one since it was half dollar size, so it comfortable around people, tho not when its basking.

the bigger RES was given to me by my grandma's friend...its always been shy,

the last one was given to me by my cousin's friend and it is very playful and outgoing.

Looks great (again)! It must be very rewarding to watch your turtles swim in all that space. The first one does seem to have a fungus situation though.

i just got the first turtle recently, and its shell had that white stuff on it already.
now that i have it, it basks all the time.

I originally thought it could be mineral deposits or something.

Ahahaha, I love the part where you pick one of them up and try to put them on the basking area and the turtle is like "HELL, NO!" and jumps off as quickly as possible. Ahahha.

It's also pretty funny how they look really suspicious about the camera. Mine is like that when I'm photographing her. She's like, "Uhh..." and then plunges back into the water.

That's a really beautiful red ear, by the way!
