Photo Gallery :: My new babies.

These are my two little RES. My wife named them Thing 1 and Thing 2. They are both the size of a silver dollar.

This is the initial setup. I'll be upgrading it soon.


Here is a shot of them in the basking area together. I thought it was strange because everything I've read says they should be housed alone.


This is Thing 1 hanging out near the filter...


and Thing 2 heading up to the basking area.

So sweet! Your set-up looks great. How can you tell them apart?

[forhorsmn]

If you look at their shells the yellow stand out a little more on Thing 2. On Thing 1 it's a little darker.

Very cute! The patterns on their plastrons are also unique like fingerprints when they're just hatchlings.

[forhorsmn]

Is this the pattern you're talking about Steve?

[steve]

Yes, though RES will loose those patterns over time.

I really like that pattern, your tank looks very nice, as well:)
