I'll do that asap!
They were both rescues. The red ear was found wandering along a footpath and didn't eat for two weeks and the yellow belly came from a little boy who got "bored"!
I've had the red ear ( Duncan! ) for nearly 10 years now, he's ( well she's ) a good 13" now!
Does any one else out there have terrapins ?

i got a "yellow bellied turtle" last yr in fact was a cumberland, lasted about 3 weeks,
it was only 18 g so very young - they were selling brown turtles,
they couldnt remember the name, but another one in the shop told me they were tortoises
theyre clue less!!!!!
now they re selling 3 water dragons,only 1 is , the other 1 is a slink!!!
and have no idea what the other is!!! it kinda looks like a bearded dragon except dark green
and a hint of different colours!!
