I picked this guy/gal up at the reptile show I was at over the weekend. It's a young Red Cheek Mud Turtle (Kinosternon scorpioides cruentatum). This was the first time I've ever come across one for sale so I couldn't pass it up. Hopefully I'll figure out what sex it is and find a mate for it. It's super friendly and was eating minutes after I put it in it's new tank.

I have heard of that species of turtle before. Great pick up. :)
 
Very nice. What size is it? And what's the max size for those guys? I haven't seen them before I don't believe
