Little sparkie is a cutie! :D
What sort of set up do you have for the cooters for winter and do you leave them outside 24/7 in the summer?
Sorry to ask so many questions but as I said on the other thread it's so difficult to find anything out about these guys!

They are out 24/7, when they come indoors the larger turtles will go in the pictured tank (120G, I'll need to construct a basking area on top to create more swimming room!) and I'll have to set up a smaller tank for Sparkie until he's big enough to join them (prob next summer) :D

Thats a amzing outdoor home you must be proud to give your turtles that type of summer home
Most spend there lives indoors in tanks far to small.

Just found this section about turtles and am thinking of keeping 1 or 2 but the setups here are amazing do you both live in england I thought I,d done well with my tort garden but yours have really given me something to aim for.

Touie are they real or fake plants in youre turtles tank mate, if there fake id advise taking them out as when youre map grows itll become more veggy and eat them , which isnt too good a situation :D

I've got both in there but they don't touch the fake ones, not even the cooter!

keep an eye on them mate i can garentee you they will try them at some point and youd be much safer to take them out.
