I love my Kingsnake but I picked up these guys to mess with during the Winter dulldrums when many Kings were asleep.
I Figure we all have side interests like this That compliment our snakes and keep the interest going.

Thanks for looking.
Bob

Are those Spotted turtles?

Nice setup! But does it smell up the house? I used to have large torts like greeks and redfoots. Couldn't stand the small and mess when kept indoors during the winter. Now my only tort is a 5" (max) from somehwere in Afghanistan or Iran. Still can't find out what it is or the proper name. It stays small does not smell up the house. It is the only reptile i keep in the house.

Yup, CB Spotteds from Turtlesource.

No smell, But the algae build up under the 100 watt incandescent and the Mercury Vapor light is getting old though. I keep it next to the utility sink in the basement for easier maintenance.
I'm a bit of a clean freak. The green algae is sort of ok but then the brown stuff starts happening......

Very cool, Bob, and really nice looking set up. Is it a m/f breeding pair or are they living "CA style"?

Thanks.Too young to sex. Best guess temp wise was females.

Judging by the pattern on their heads/necks, both are females. Males typically have dark colored jaws, dark red eyes, and lack the yellow stripe that runs along the lower part of their neck and splits at the jaw.

That said, I'm not if these characteristics can be used to sex juveniles. They are pretty much 100% for all the wild and captive adults I have seen.
