in the river
i was at a friends house trying to take pics of her yellow belly slider to show someone on here but i failed at catching him in the larger pond so i decided to take pics of the pond with the western painteds she keeps...its an atrium with the pond we are trying to figure out what to do with the plant scaping to try and hide the three walls of the house so when you look through the screen door you see a jungle with a pond

ps. its a heavy duty screen roof so that they get sun and random cats dont end up in the atrium...

Gorgeous! That male slider, is his name Freddy Kruger or Wolverine? LOL
 
Are you sure that's a western? The plastron looks a bit pale, no? I don't know, I could be wrong.
 
ya its a western he is old and he never really had any black markings on his plastron nor was he ever bright but the parents of him are another friend of ours that loves westerns and eastern painteds so...we know he is pure western (cause we know the "breeder" and he keeprs the two species seperate so they dont "hybridize")

i know his claws are wicked long- ironically enough loco we were joking about his name should be wolverine when i was taking the pictures

sigh the wonders a good spacious setup will do for your turts...which is why
i will be starting a project of building an outside patio with a pond for my turtles in a few months...once the rainy season passes (hawaii doesnt get snow we get rain...tons of rain for those of us who leave near mountains-it would not be fun to build something outside during the rainy season)

thanks all for the compliments i will foward them to my friend...
