These are my 2 turtles. 2 baby sliders

This one is named Donnie (Donnie from ninja turtles)


And here is mine, named Darko


They are both the same size, although taken a few weeks apart. They are only a month or a month and a half old at most

How adorable! I can't believe mine was ever so tiny!

awe so cute

Here's some more in their new 20g tank.

Did you get all the basics down? UVB/UVA, filter, water heater, nutrition? If yes, then good job! And your turtles look like mine when they were that small.

Both of mine JUST hit 3 inches

Lamp. check. Heater. Check. Filter? double check. Getting em lettuce to go with their pellets and meal worms. They are well on their way to getting huge except Donnie has some white spots I think are shell rot spots. So some cuttle bone just got tossed in.

Early shell rot can get cured at home. You just have to know how..If you go to the medical section in www.austinsturtlepage.com you can find how to treat it at home. However, if the shell rot doesnt go away, or keeps spreading. Then a vet will have to treat it.


But first, post some pictures of the area with the white..white spots dont always mean fungus/shell rot. Alot of the times its mineral deposits or ugly shedding. You'd want to double check before you start treating it.

isnt it amazing how big they grow in such a small amount of time!!!!
i find it hard to remember what mine looked like when they were younger lol!

Yea I made a thread on it in the care section, but here are some pics.

I checked the spots and they aren't soft, they feel like pieces of the shell that I could pull off almost. Doesn't smell weird either.

Are those scutes lifting at all?

what cute babies!!! wow! It IS hard to believe that Tobi was that size too! She was a quarter! Time sure flies and turts grow fast! lol

They look great!
