Heres some pictures of my 2 turtles ive had now for almost a month. They dont have names yet, theyre just Big Turtle and Little Turtle, or Baby Turtle, even tho i think theyre the same age, if anyone can estimate their age from the pics or tell their gender, thatd be awesome, enjoy!

Here they are takin in some heat.
Image

This is probobly the best picture of either of them, its the little one basking doing the yoga thing.
Image

Another one of the little guy chillin on their floaty rock
Image

A common occurance in on the rock, the little guy got the better spot...this time.
Image

The big one taking a swim, probobly wanting some food.
Image

Its tough to get a picture of the little one being still in the water, but this one turned out great.
Image

The big one checking me out from behind the filter, hes either going to knock it down or it had just been replaced haha, distructive little buggers they are.
Image

The two of them again playing piggyback and apparantly checking out something going on in the other room, the dog was probobly doing something amusing, or stupid, or both.
Image

Well, for the sake of everyones bandwidth, thatll be it for now, i love taking pictures of my turtles so there will be more to come! Hope you all like them!

Great pics! I like the 4th one, the little one is on top of the big one's head :lol: If they're both over 4 inches long (shell length) the I'd say you have a pair of females :D
And I know what you mean about their destructiveness... Ralph will tear apart a lettuce leaf/plant just for the sake of destroying it, not actually eating it :P

they both look female.. have you cut their claws? in the fourth pic, the one on the bottom looks like a female.. small tail..... if you could, post a pic of both of their tails... claws look like female claws, unless you cut them..

they are the cutest, I love the first pic.. but in the 3rd pic, she looks like shes pyramiding a little bit.. has she shed her shell since you've had her?

oh yea.. lol definetely submitt the second pic in the next photo contest.. awesome!!! :)
