Ok, so I've aqcuired a trio of elderly turtles that had been abandoned by an elementary school science teacher that had recently been retired...
These turtles are approx 20 years old. 2 Red Ear Sliders, and 1 Painted. All three are females that had been living together for at least the last 15-years that the teacher had been with that school.
I've got them set up in an "indoor pond" in my house. I've set up one of those pre-formed pond things for them with appropriate land/water hang-out spots They were orriginally in a 45-gal breeder tank with rocks and bricks to climb up on and while they do not show any signs of neglect and were relatively well cared for, they seem quite happy in the new pond.
Pics will be here as soon as I can find my camera, but more importantly, I need names for these gals. Any ideas?

He's anything but warm and fuzzy.
