Just some pics to maybe help others get some ideas for their turtle habitats...and to show off the turtles. Any questions let me know. Oh and don't be fooled when people claim these guys need shallow water and are not great swimmers, I HIGHLY disagree. Granted they're more like a bull in a china shop when they get moving and will attempt to tank through anything in their way, but they're just as good of swimmers as any other turtle I've had. ANYWAYS...on to the pics, Enjoy!

That is a really nice habitat you have there. Are your turtles a copple? How do they get along? A friend had to separate its copple, the male was getting very agressive toards the female.
 
Not sure if they're a pair or not, but they get along fine. Occasionally they'll nip each other, but nothing that worries me.
