Adopted turtles

Hi everyone one!

I just adopted two RES off of kijiji. One (I believe is male) is around 3 inches shell wise, and the one I believe to be female is around 5 inches and has scoute going on. They were in a 5-8 gallon tank when I got them! Needless to say they have horrible pyramid shells and a few other issues. I've up graded them to a 70 for now and will be upgrading them again soon. It's been a few decades since I've owned RES turtles so I appreciate and look forward to everyone's advice as I try and get these poor things to a healthier state.

I know this is not the place for questions so I will post pictures (once they have settled in a bit more) and numerous questions in the appropriate forums.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Welcome to the site debby! What is scoute? Just be aware that males most likely will have to be separated. Glad you recused them and joined us!

Welcome to the group!! I imagine they feel like they are in heaven being moved into a 70 gallon tank from a 10 or smaller tank. I can't wait to see pictures..
