Awww are they having a hug or is he doing his thaang? I love the last photo where he is resting his head on hers and he is smiling!!

Aww, they look like their sooo in love xx

Yep he's doing his thang.

It actually gets a little nasty with a lot of head biting. The male has to live on his own as he'll try and mate with anything. I've been putting them together on netural territory to see if I can get some babies.

When I first looked I thought it was one turtle standing in shallow water looking at his reflection. I got to the last pic and realised there were 2.

Very nice looking animals. Hope you get fertile eggs.

awww... that looks so romantic.

Yea... nothing like online porn.

You gotta admit it is a cute shot. Anthropomorphism at its best.

I just realized that is a Yellow Mud turtle. Aren't they normally kept in a terrestrial environment with access to water and not like the mud turtles are normally kept?
