It's basically a deep picture frame, you could attach the shell inside.

Ahhh, i just unpacked my crafting and art supplies and now I want to make one too. You can make one to custom fit your shell if you can't find one in stores, here they're available at framing and crafting places. If you seal it up really well it also helps preserve the contents. Enjoy!

Thank you for the explanation

I will definitely do that. That is a good idea

[BiteyBits]

You're welcome! Glad I could be of help.

did you have to peel the scutes off yourRES?

did you have to peel the scutes off yourRES?

You should never peel the scutes off your RES. The scutes fall off eventually. By pulling the scutes, you risk damaging the new layer. The worst case is exposing the bone layer. It could also be very painful for the turtle.

@lileeli ...NO!! Don't ever do that!! just be patience and let it fall off by it self.

Kame's shedding process took months to finish but I'm glad to see my patience paid off as she has great scutes now.

ok cool...its just weird that i've had my hatchlings for months and they havent shedded yet...but now that i know it took months for it to happen i know what to expect...thanks!!!

I did another photoshop on Kame and Kroten's picture mix with movie poster.

my first edited poster is here





The line:Only in http://kamekroten.wordpress.com (Kame & Kroten's blog) is a change I use from only in cinema
It is also used for a post under the same title.

It's not good that his arm looks like a large Reptomin pellet.

@DB's Slider > Thanks The face off was my 1st try. Will do more in the future. I'm thinking Godzila.

@Jaysea Thanks

@Steve hahaha Kroten is a giant turtle needs to be tamed. I think she is considering whether to eat his arm or not

Kame's scute has become part of my room's accessories
