hello!

Well i went to the fish shop on saturday with the intention of just buying some frozen bloodworms for my tropical fish..but we ended up coming home with what ive been told are 2 map turtles! to be honest id never seen them before and dont know much about them ..but they were so lovely we just couldnt resist!!

anyway ive spent the last 2 days doing a bit of research on them and getting them settled into their new home! but i was wondering if anyone has any information about them/tips on keeping them for me!? I think ive managed to find out a fair bit but was just looking for tips from anyone with first hand experience! They are only about 1 and a half inches at the moment but im aware they will grow a lot bigger! they are currently in a smallish tank (its big compared to them at the moment but they will eventually outgrow it) and we will eventually transfer them into our other huge fish tank (only has a couple of fish left in it and theyre fairly old!) so basically...anything i should know?? any tips!!????

any help would be much appreciated!!
