Hey Everyone,
I haven't been on in a long time (Summer vacation). But now that I'm back in school I'm busy again & of course I end up rescuing tow new turtles. my neighbor had them in HORRIBLE conditions. they are both at least 2" & they in a hatchling lagoon. They were on a glassed in back porch, which of course filters UVA & UVB rays. To let them get exercise they would just let them climb out of the lagoon & walk around on the furnished porch with a CAT! of corse when the owners (two girls) mom got tired of cleaning the tank they just gave them to me. now there living in a nice big 30 gallon tub with my turtle's that are there size, JJ & Speedy. I thought since you all have been such a big help to me since I got my first turtle Jaws last year. I want you to name them & there still to small to be sexed. let me know with any name suggestions. :D

Good for you for rescuing those turtles.

With pet names, I've always felt you need to see their personalities to find a name. I just got a RES yesterday and after a few hours came up with the name Tanner because it looks like he keeps sticking his head out of the water next to his dock to "tan" himself with the light.

Do the turtles have any special characteristics or personalities that you've noticed in each of them?
