[SpJc11]

[kafiltafiisch]

[invisyblegypsey]

very nice!!

[russll_13]

cool look at my turtle setup lol its a plastic lid that floats so they can get up there.

[Nic]

looks nice....

[gootswa]

lol

[russll_13]

the coolest thing is that the one on top is and african turtle

[gootswa]

no, it is a babby snapping turtle. are you thinking african sideneck?

[klmt]

you need to get the correct lighting on that tank. By the looks of it there is glass between the bulb and turtle. This filters out the uv rays and the bulb is useless.

[russll_13]

no, it is a babby snapping turtle. are you thinking african sideneck?
no seriously its african my older brother got it there when he was 3 in africa and its been in my family ever since and hasn't grown in a long time either.
Oh yeah and i turned the light off when i took the pic so the lighting isnt as bad as it looks in the pic.

[gootswa]

dude its a common snapper, I bought two at the same time and the other out grew the one. and i took the glass out thanks for the heads up on that

[chloe]

wow looks really good!

[russll_13]

dude its a common snapper, I bought two at the same time and the other out grew the one. and i took the glass out thanks for the heads up on that
its not he got it in africa when it was about 3 inches when we first got it like 21 years ago and it hasnt grown much. the bottom one might be a snapper it has a red outline on its shell but the one on top definitely isn't a common snapper.

[gootswa]

[evilxyardxgnome]

I would add more water to the softshells tank.

[rmorse]

Same. That tank is pretty shallow...

[Vicious_Fish]

That tank is pretty shallow and small. But nice turtle.

[Tom]

look at these pics


Those turtles on the plastic do not look happy:(

[Mbutiful]

heres my turle tank! I have 2 african side necks, 1 musk turtle, 1 ornate bichir, 1 mbuna, and a raphael cat, filteration is a tetratec 1200 and 700

[muskkeeper]

I love the set up and pics of your turtles! Got any pics of your pyxie?

[LeahisAwesome]

Looks awesome.
Makes me want a turtle again.

[coura]

That softshell defenetly needs a much bigger and deeper tank. I would also take that plastic plant out its just filling up space. The others (the painted and red eared slider) tank should also get some major improving, here you have lots of ideas how to start with, bigger and more naturalistic is the good goal to achieve

[Horiyoshi III]

lol chupa ... anyway here are the pics of my soft shell turtle.How old is it?How long have you had it for?
It looks nice and stocky.

[gootswa]
