I was able to sneek up behind toku and grab a pic, he didn't even move. His head started to turn towards my direction as I walked out the room. Got ya Toku!

I tried my luck again but this is what I got, he noticed me this time and darted to safety, lol.

I can never get a pics of my turtles basking. They dive off right away usually even before i can see them.

Sometimes they launch at first sight, sometimes they don't care at all. Not sure if I can ever figure these guys out.

Ain't that the truth, well atleast Toku is consistent, lol

Slider what are you using for substrate, it looks very corse.

it's play sand. This sand is the most natural look I can find that isn't hard to clean when I do clean the tank. I would like to use a mix of play sand, mud and rocks but filteration maintenance would be a nightmare. So I just use the sand for substrate. Personnally, I think sand is easier top clean than rocks. The best tank to keep clean is a bare bottom. I went with that setup when I first started caring for RES. But about 5 yrs ago I decided to try play sand. Its has been my substrate of choice ever since.

Figured it was sand of some type, just not play sand. Looked a little grittier than the play sand I've seen. Maybe because the little specs of different colors.

your not the first one to say that, lol. I actually heard that alot. Toku has had no problem with this sand. He has had this sand in his tank since he was hatched.
