OMG you punk, you are so freakin' lucky. I loved spotteds so much.
Do you have any photos of their setup? I have this delusion that I want a spotted someday, so I need ideas for the 50% land, 50% water type setup. I want it to be natural looking, and not like a tortoise enclosure.
Oh yeah, they SUCK at swimming. What I've heard is that their water level should be as high as the length of their shell. Which is technically a good thing and a bad thing, cause you can get a shallow breeder tank, but you need a submersible filter that works in water only a few inches high. Most filters I've seen that work in shallow water, really can't keep up with turtle waste.
