Our babies are doing well, THANK GOD! We've done some changes to the tank. Bought a NEW filter, which I am afraid will be replaced in the next few months as well. Very Happy

I've learned quite a bit since we bought them in December. The 10 gallon tank is not big enough for them, and am saving up for a 100 gallon.

I want them to be as comfortable as possible. We were afraid they'd get sick, or worse, die on us. Our first time having turtles, so we were a bit unsure as to what to expect. I know one thing, I HAVE SPENT some money on the little guys. Laughing

THey poop like crazy, so am having to do a complete water change every TWO weeks otherwise it would be DISGUSTINGLY dirty!

I didn't get a FLUVAL, but I have looked at them and priced them. Once I get the bigger tank then the FLUVAL is coming in. LOL, it is too funny, I've bought different things, and have found myself experimenting if anything. The babies are growing fast and soon they'll need more space. Evil or Very Mad

Some of you might remember us, I bought the little guys for my little sister during Christmas time, and since then I have been the primary caregiver. Everyone loves them though and have enjoyed seeing them grow... Very Happy

Well, thanks for checking out our pics.... take care and God bless! Very Happy

I figured I'd go ahead and get the biggest one I could fit in my den.. no sense in upgrading every 2-3 months... besides, I know of a friend who is getting rid of her 100ga... Yeap, GOOD luck to me.. Ican imagine the work that will be cut out for me...........LOL! I guess i just want Sammie and Dash to have plenty of space to swim around in.. they keep bouncing into the sides of the glass as if trying to break free... poor little guys.... sometimes I feel bad I have them as pets... they belong in the wild... but still they're loved and cared for...

Bye!
