Default Turtles in aquatics shop.

I filmed a short clip in our fish shop, (not fish and chips).

It is excellent aquatics shop, one of the best, we are very lucky to live close.
Razorbacks are very quiet and they never come out in contrast to common musks. I watched them quite few times now. Are all razorbacks like that, very lay back? There are 3 or 4 Sternotherus carinatus in this tank, they always hiding in the corners. Here is the link if you are interested:

Thanks all, In fact I think they have way too many Yellow bellied sliders. Already a lot of them for rehome, they grow large and people having trouble getting rid of them when they grow... Not happy with the amount of YBS hatchlings in two tanks. Thinking in two years time when they grow up local adverts explode with amount of 'free terrapin' or 'buy tank get free turtle' ???
Musks and Razorbacks are great. I would get those Sternotherus Carinatus, if I was not taking some other species right now.

This shop is best, anyway. They got very exotic marine and freshwater stock and top quality as well.

I love the way they all climb on top of each other, I think one way shops could help when they sell the bigger turts would be to have a picture of an adult compared to a baby. At least buyers would have some idea of their adult size.

looks like there looked after well but they need to take the gravel out of the tanks so there no chance of impaction
