pics of your set ups and turtles
just being nosey but here are mine to get it started!
here is my indoor tank ( I know the gravel needs removing, I'm working on it!) currently home to little Sparkie (False Map) who I've had for a couple of weeks Outdoor set up home during the summer to Spook (Penninsular Cooter) and Splosh (can't get a pic of Splosh outside he's too quick!) |

Little sparkie is a cutie!
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! Deb |

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)

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. Darren

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

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