Yesterday Wendy.

No name yet Rachael, but it should be something to do with this leg up thing or because half his/her tail has been nipped off (Stumpy?

).

Cheers!

I'm hoping to have three eventually and I think I've covered the possibility of three girls! Would be nice to have at least one male though.

Is it hard 2 get hold of males?? X

To be honest, it's pretty hard to get hold of Texas Map turtles! This one was captive bred in Europe, someone in the UK bought him, and I bought the turtle from them. Texas maps are one of the smallest of the map turtles, the males grow to around 3.5 inches, the females at least twice that size.(depending on which reference you use!).
