I have a Red ear slider Named Lilypad, Lily for short. She is around 8-9 months old. I have had her for almost 7 months now and I wouldn\'t trade her for the world.

I have 3 RES but really have yet to name them as I don\'t know if they are boys or girls yet!!! One is definitely named M.B. which is short for Miracle Baby as he got caught under a large beach shell I had in the tank for decoration. When I found him I thought he was dead but eventually came around thank goodness. All 3 of my turtles are not quite a year old. Needless to say ALL decorations are out of my tank except for plastic plants and the floating platform where they bask.

I have 4 RES. I cant tell their gender yet because they are only about 2 or 3 months old! they\'re adorable. but I gave them some temporary names.

~Nemo (because he/she has a leg that is sortof disabled i uess you can say. he never moves it)
~toto (i have a brother that has a small disability and has to practice to pronounce words and instead of saying \"turtle\' he says \"toto or totle\" Smile

~strike (the fastest, most energetic, and also the one that eats the most and is the most dominant you can say)
~spaz (whenever you go near, ofcourse they get scared but this one just jumps around for 10 minutes after you even leave!)

I lvoe mine theyre sooooooo adorable!
