Post Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 7:12 pm   Really Neat Setups

I visited a fellow turtle enthusiast and his habitats are just so amazing. The one looks like somthing a zoo would have. I really didnt take pictures of all his turtles sorry. He has painteds, rio grande cooters, 1 res, 1 ybs, 1 florida red bellied, box turtles, muds, 1 snapping turtle, 1 musk.

This is his mud and musk, not a very good pic but its half water with lots of mud and plants for them.

Water turtle/ box turtles habitat for all adults. There are 3 water supply areas. This is huge, you can see a spot near water its a florida red bellied basking.

Look how big that red bellied is. Thats a full grown female painted that swims by her.

Well since everything is together he gets hybrids sometimes. First year he got 2 ybs/red.

Also first year for this! These hybrids are gonna be wild though. Western/Eastern Painted, i never seen pics of hybrids like that he got 4 maybe 6. Look at its shell you can see western shell but you can also see its gonna get the eastern whitish bands. Head looks like an Eastern it has the two spots.
