Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I have my two YBS. Stubby is 3.5 in. Webber is 3.25 in. I took pics of nails and tails too but I know it's kinda too soon to tell sex.

Stubby's tail was nipped off as a baby before I got him.

Any input you all may have on their condition would be cool to hear. They eat well. No problems that I've noticed. They have not shed since I've had them (got them in July last year) I am feeding wheat germ as well as reptomin baby and zoomed hatchling, and zoomed maintanace. They devour a head of romaine in about a week to week in a half.


Thanks for looking and taking time to give me your input. :)

So, not to be weird, but Stubby's tail has a smiley face on it.

That means I need to be saving for a larger tank....75 gal won't hold to full grown females.
