Hello!
I reset up my tank today. I was reading peoples posts, and looking at their tank pictures today on this site. I had gravel, I totally got rid of it, and only got a couple bigger rocks, and an arch rock for them! I have three peices of driftwood floating on top, and a plastic platform for them to get up on too. There is a lot more water(almost to the top) so they have a lot more room to swim around in too.
Here are some pictures of my little dudes. I haven't named them yet, so I can't give any names... :-P

TAHDAH! And there they are! Cute aren't they? They are pretty small aren't they? Man, now the really hard part comes...I still need to name them! AHH! I am happier with my terrarium setup though. :-D

They look very cute. And your set up looks good. :)

Just a thought on the plastic basking area. It looks very wet on top even when they are out of the water all the way. It's really important for both the top and the bottom of their shell to be able to dry off completely while they are basking. Try lining the basking area with something raised (maybe like the plastic shelf lining with holes) so they can dry their shell while they bask.

Your little guys are adorable!

Another thing I would add about the basking area. I know that I used to have this thing that floated all over the tank, so make sure that your logs are staying under the UVB light, otherwise it doesn't do them much good.

Thanks for putting the quarter next to the turtle so we can really see the size! They sure are sweet. :)
