New mother to a baby softshell

CSA Feb 05, 2006 08:09 PM

I would like some links if you can to sites that has ideas for a turtle tank. How do you sex them? she/he is in a 55 gal now with plants that float on top so she can sit on them out of the water and swims with all my other fish, they doing great but I'm sure she will be better in her own tank made for her needs (or his). This is a picture, you can see her swimming untop. I am getting her new tank ready but need some pix to get my immagination running...

picture needs to be at a website, either the kingsnake photogallery (you get one free just by having an account for posting on the forums). If uploaded to the kingsnake gallery, posting it is easy, just select the picture you from from the gallery in the dropdown list shown below new messages/posts. From other photo hosting sites online, or your own website, y ou will need to include the URL with img tags. Clicking on Tools and Toys right below the message window (the place you type text to reply to a message or post a new one) and it will give you examples on what HTML tags to use. You can also use the preview button instead of post message to make sure the image appears before posting the message to the forum.

As for care and housing for soft shell turtles, included a few links below. As there are several different species of softshell, the care requirements could vary between species. It may be an ideal to search under the name of the particular shoft shell turtle you have.
