Photo Gallery :: New Turtle and Turtle Updates African River Cooter

[Moose]

Hey all! So I stopped being lazy and decided to post pics of E&B along with tank, pebbles and the River cooter I named Garbanzo Bean!
.....I gotta tell you a story though, when i went to initially go to the pet store it was just to pick up some sponges and and other things to clean my filters and I saw they were selling the Cooters I really wanted one and was jealous when My friend Matt bought one, he gave me a lift home to the entrance to my apartment and by the time i actually got to my front door ( i had to stop by the office) there was a box chillin on my door step and who was inside of it?????....The Cooter! LMAO! he bought it left it there and isnt coming back, So now my turtle count is up to 5, I was both excited and FURIOUS all at the same time! Let me know if you see anything wrong, and buster and eugene are going through some Shedding rigth now.

Looks like Buster *might* be starting some shell pyramiding...how much do you feed them?

[Moose]

I feed them once a day around 7pm that when I get home, Buster and Eugene get fed pellets daily, romaine lettuce 4 times a week a small slice of strawberry, blueberry or carrot once every two weeks and sweet potato once a week.

All the turtles, except for the cooter bcuz I have to get all of his stuff this weekend, have a UVA/UVB Bulb and a floating dock on their basking area have a water heater set at 79degrees and their bulb is on from 730am-8/9pm daily.

For the longest time i switched their bulbs from the regular basking heat bulb to the Sun Glo brand and for me for some reason it never felt like it was emitting enough heat or anything and they were NEVER basking, just last Monday I switched back to the old brand of the UVA/UVB bulb and now they are basking and MUCH happier now.
