Are they wild caught or captive bred?

Thanks, that's "Sparky". I named her that when I was 8 because of how colorful she was. She's an awesome turtle, super friendly and loves to come beg for food when she sees me.

I have a shallow tub of water for my turtles to bath in on hot days. But for drinking water I use a chicken water dispenser like the one in the below link. That way they always have clean water for drinking.

I guess you could consider them wild caught. They all came into my possession many, many years ago for various reasons. One was run over by a field mower, another was crushed by a bulldozer, another was hit by a car and one was chewed on by a large dog.

I use to do my best to fix up hurt turtles, mostly ones hit by cars and then release them when they were all better. I've rehabilitated many turtles over the years but these 4 I held on to.

Unless I catch them in the act of egg laying I won't know which female the eggs are from. But I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Nope, she's a female. Don't worry coura, you're not the first one to think she was a male by her coloring. The one with the crazy pink eyes is the male.
