Look what I picked up yesterday!
Meet Koopa and Troopa.
Our new addition, picked them up yesterday. They are around 1.2 years old, how much their weight should be? I love their pink spotty hoods. Troopa very scared, feeling like biting me. Both together: They are so tiny...

They are Sternotherus Carinatus, Razorback musk turtles. Thye are in same family as common musk, Sternotherus Odoratus. Other picture of that cute baby trying to snap my finger. I hope some guru will come along and help me to find out what an average weight should be, they are 2''~ 5cm SCL, one seems slightly smaller.

They are cute turtles, great turtles to have, i have never weighed mine, so not sure what weight they should be, trouble is they can grow faster if you feed them more. are they over weight ?
