My intention is to keep these guys healthy and see what we (my wife, children and myself) can learn from them while enjoying them as captives. If I am lucky enought to reproduce them...great but it's not a priority. The majority of my collection aren't exactly child friendly species so getting the girls involved in the herps required going outside my wheelhouse so to speak. They enjoy the dragons as does my wife, but I have long wanted to have a nice outdoor setup for either Gulf Coast Boxes, Ornate Diamondback Terrapins, Spotteds (illegal here in GA), Blandings, Podocnemis unifilis, or Geoclemys hamiltonii I realize that some of these species are difficult and or protected, they just happen to be the species that "flip my switch" LOL. Woods happen to be the first ones that have come into my possesion as legal, healthy, captive examples so they will be the ones that I work with...as it seems space wise....exclusively. Thank you for the photos and plant suggestions, they have been very helpful. What brand/model pump do you use?

Thanks again
