Hi! Introduce yourselves here. :: what did you name your turtle?

[DaisyDUB]

Hello fellow turtle lovers! New here got RES hatchling as an early birthday present, named him Tophat

[DaisyDUB]

Nice name! What's her setup like?

Thanks! .. here are 3 pix of her and her set up, we just upgraded her to a 75 gal and bought her a turtle topper, we still need to get her some plants but she is loving all the room

That is the exact turtle topper I would like to get for my little guy! My only worry would be if it would be too big, after all he is just a hatchling

A basking area could never be too big. What size tank do you have?

Currently housed in a 10 gallon tank, will be moved to a 50 gallon within the week. Just working in getting all essentials before hand to set it up

Hi, new here, just registered. So I rescued a year old RES this weekend and named her Dory. She was living in terrible conditions and I had a spare tank so I decided to give her a better home. My 9 year old niece acquired the turtle from some boardwalk and her grandparents bought it for her... Poor Dory was living in a 2 gallon tank for that long... What's even worse is that she had no lighting except for the room lighting... My sister had been wanting to give her away for a while, but couldn't find anyone willing. Now I have her in a 20 gallon tank, which belonged to our uromastyx, for now until I can afford a much bigger one. She's pretty healthy for the most part, which is surprising, but very glad she is.

Thanks! I was gonna name her Squirt, but I figured that a lot of people use that name. Nemo is cute though!

Thank you! And yeah, I noticed Squirt is used a lot! When we got him my mom and I went through all the names of the characters from Finding Nemo (I LOVE that movie) and came up with Nemo!

[steve]

Squirt works great as a nickname.

I've got a 1 month old who I named Georgie. It's a unisex name lol

[Joddog]

I'm new here and have two rescued RES hatchlings named Zeus and Aphrodite.

[eventHorizon]

Hi, I'm brand new here I have one RES named Bubbles.

[missvalkyrie]

I have two babies as of right now:

I'm "turtle-sitting" for the foreseeable future my best friend's common musk. She calls him GB or Gold Bit, but I call him Artemis.

My husband adopted a RES for me (and Artemis), and I named her Apollo.

Collectively they are my Archers, and any future turtles I get will be named after famous archers.

[spyder]

mikey
april
izzy
jess
and spike.

my first turtle's name was Osky. After a few years I adopted one yellow bellied slider and her name was "Peach" but I changed it to "Ilsa" (as the Casablanca´s character). My red eared slider´s name is "Elvis". Now my new YBS male is "Sam". And the new little YBS is "Beth Taylor" (as the actress Elizabeth Taylor).
