I met the chic this afternoon with the turtles. they came with two 10gal tanks, some air pumps, several filters, tons of basking rocks, lots of fake plants, some baby turtle pellets, and maybe some other random stuff. overall, it was a great deal cause i know how much all that stuff costs.
the turtles look good, but there are some spots on their bottom shells that kinda make me wonder.....their shells dont feel soft at all though, so thats good
their coloration is normal, except the little spots on the bottoms, which might be normal, idk. i think we figured out why they havent grown, i dont they they had a basking/heat lamp at all!! and they werent being fed enough, but that will certainly change here. they had the rocks to bask on, but no lamps.
anywho, here are some pics of the new guys:
ok here is a pic of the spots,they are kinda brownish in color:
and here is for a size comparision ( i know, the quarantine thing, but seriously....they are all about 1.5 years of age, and there is a huge difference in size). the big one is our largest RES, the other two we have are a little smaller than her. the two new guys are both the same size.
now off to setting up a nice tank for them!! if anyone has an idea what those brownish spots are, let us know
