Look what I picked up yesterday!
 
Meet Koopa and Troopa.
Our new addition, picked them up yesterday. They are around 1.2 years old, how much their weight should be?
I love their pink spotty hoods.

OOPS! Sorry, forgot to say who they are.

They are Sternotherus Carinatus, Razorback musk turtles. Thye are in same family as common musk, Sternotherus Odoratus.

I hope some guru will come along and help me to find out what an average weight should be, they are 2''~ 5cm SCL, one seems slightly smaller.

They are cute turtles, great turtles to have, i have never weighed mine, so not sure what weight they should be, trouble is they can grow faster if you feed them more. are they over weight ?
