I got an idea!

Let's all post our oldest picture of our turtles and then post the most recent pics of our turtles! We'll see how much they grew!

Here's my first picture of Serra.

and here's my most recent.

Can't wait to see your pics!

Oh, I've got a great pic of my Gomie. But it's on my work computer. It's the very first picture I took of the kids. I'll have to e-mail it to myself....stay tuned.

The "then" pics are the first pics I ever took of my two RESs, Tank, and Diesel, and the "now" pics, are the ones I just took a couple of minutes ago...

Tank then...
Image

Tank now...
Image

Diesel then...
Image

Diesel now...
Image

EDIT! Heres a good idea too, post your first set-up, and the one you have now...

You can use the light fixtures to see the size difference. Oh, and Tank is in both of these pics hiding... Can you find him? He He He... :D

Then...
Image

Now...

They did, but they both have walnut and caramel colors now. it's so interesting that they go from green to brown.

Hey Scripta, I don't think I saw your above tank area before. Did you make that? I like it a lot! Did you use plexiglass for the sides?

Hey Nathan.... Show off! :P (just kidding! :D)

Lol, you are right, I do like to show off my tank. But I think I have worked long, and hard enough to show it off. :D Summer job... :roll:

Funny story about the above tank basking area. I ordered one from Runningwideopen, and I measured wrong. Not extremely wrong, but a few centimeters. It didn't fit like it was supposed to because of my error, so I adjusted it to work a different way.

THEN::::
Itty, bitty baby Leo- within the first 3 or so days that we got her!
Image

Image

this is after the first renovation- but i never got a picture of the tank when it had gravel!! >_< (still... doing a lot wrong though) lol
Image
20 gallons

NOW::::
Now aware that he is in fact a SHE! :)
Image

Image

and the -now- setup! (older picture- so Leo's a bit bigger now but everythings pretty much the same)
Image
75 gallons

EDIT:: i thought a compared to hand photo would be appropriate to show the difference in size from the first picture to now- it's not the greatest quality pic but it's the most recent of Leo in my hand! :P
