Very nice! My local zoo has several large Staurotypus which I've always admired. Do you keep your bigger turtles in tanks or ponds?

Thank for you input guys.

Actually my turtles are small, less than 3" of shell, at this moment they live together but not for so long I am going to put them sepaartely and I have a couple of projects in mind regarding ponds or plywood tanks in advance.


Cheers.

I especially like the marbled pattern around the head. What part of Mexico are they native to?
