So happy, all my turtles made it through hibernation and everyone is looking good. All maintained a healthy weight. Was a little worried about them going from the shallow water for hibernation back to full stocktank outside but they made it through the night okay and are swimming around and basking right now in this warm spurt of 78 dgree weather :3

So here is the my lovely adult females of my diamondbacks. Haha they dont seem that big but the two biggest are 8inches and so I threw in small diamondback just about to hit the 4inch mark, who should be female also because she isnt showing sign of being male compared to another one that size whos tail is definitely getting bigger.




Also yes, that diamondback does have a healed old injury on the side of her shell.

Well the turtle will be sleeping in their summer home for a week. Furture of the week shows it going down to the 20s. Darn

[Diamondbacks4Life]

Well i thought I would update, when i brought them home temps dropped belows 30s again and they went back to not moving. Things havent gone so smoothly. The female on far right defiently has a problem and has become inactive. She actually poped up floating last week and I brought her inside. All the other turtles however ate for the first time this morning so that is good news accept for the lone male. Not sure how he is. He seems slow to and did not eat. Went from being in the 30s one night to 86 yesterday. The temps are all over the place here. So we will see how things go but it was good to see most of the diamondbacks super active.

It's always rainy and wet in Oregon, not many chances to let my turtle outside :/ i bet it would be awesome to be able to though.
And sorry about your Turts not feeling well... hope they get better : (

I hope all is well with the female DBT she is my FAVORITE! Weather is varying quite drastically here in az but thats kind of typical, keep us posted!

[Diamondbacks4Life]

Well i thought i should say. Yesterday the female on the far right passed away. Very upsetting to me, each dbt is like a one of kind painting which cant be reproduced. I can never replace her. I will really miss not seeing her.

On an upside though, the male which i thought might be sick too has gone back to normal.

Very sorry to hear that, she was beautiful. At least you know she had a happy life with you, and you can always remember her by looking at her pictures. I'm sure that's not much help to you right now tho

[Bugbug]
