Hi Everybody!
My little Charlotte just recently turned a year old and I wanted to share some recent pictures with you all. I don't take pictures with her very often because she's rather shy but i'm happy to report that she's been doing really well over the past year. She is now 3" and loves to chase things around the tank (especially lettuce). She is currently living in a 125gal tank with about 20 snails and 3 Ciclids. Her shell seems to be getting better and she has recently started to shed thin layers of her scutes - i'm hoping there will be some serious scute shedding taking place soon. I'm also thinking she may be a boy..check out her claws.

Lastly, I just want to thank everyone who has helped me on this forum over the past year. I'm relatively new to turtle ownership and as some of you know, Charlotte was sick when I got her. Without this forum and it's wonderful members I don't think Charlotte would be as happy and healthy as she is today. Love you all!

Awesome! Happy 1st birthday Charlotte!
P.S I think you may be on to something there with the claws.

Happy bday :D Beautiful turtle.

To be sure on the sex your going to have to wait til she's at least 4" to be certain, otherwise it's still a guessing game.

Thanks everyone,
I'm pretty sure she is actually a "he" but Jaysea, you're right. I still have to wait a bit longer to really be sure. However, I am taking bets though :)
