Well I've had my baby for about 7 months now. Cash has grown so fast! It's amazing! We are slowly achieving our dream home for him(or her?) Just recently he has started to become more friendly and does not hide when you come up to the tank. Here's a couple of pics of our setup and him. Soon, we will be upgrading to a bigger tank, but college restrictions have prevented us from furthering our progress.
this is after 3 months of having him.
we had to get at least one picture of him on his new basking area, even if it meant us putting him up there. [/list][/img]
The picture of the tank full of water with such a tiny turtle is a good example for those who are afraid of filling up their tanks too much. It shows how well these RES love their swimming space!
My babies: Tanner (RES), MR. Prissy & Ringo (budgies), Shinju (cockatiel)
