[/img]Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 7:33 pmwhat a great looking shell!! how long have you had him?
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 7:42 pmNice-looking turtle---an interesting plastron and a beautiful carapace. 
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 8:40 pmThanks guys. 
I was worried because his shell seems to bulge at the top. Not the scutes, the thing as a whole. we were worried he was eating to much. (he also couldn't fit all the way in but dieting fixed that). Freshprince We have only had him for roughly 2 months.

Res08: We bought him from petsmart. We live in MN. The Petco down the street from Petsmart has horrible looking turtles. They had like 15 turtles from 2" to 5" in a 40g tank with maybe 10g of water. The turtles had neck wounds, beat up shells. It was horrible

Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:28 pmNice - he looks so big in one of those pictures... even though mine's 6". Haha - I guess the camera adds a couple of extra "pounds".
I saw the same at a Petland Discounts near me. So many turtles, so little water. They all look so sad... :\

we dont have pet shops like that here in India,
and as turtles are illegal, they are smuggled from other countries ! i still dont have any idea how they bring em here.
