well here i am, bored and posting random pictures. i think ive only posted once before in this forum.
His name is Ignacio.
while im posting, what would be a good way to fatten this turtle up quickly? i think he could stand to gain just a little. just more fish and turtle food?
thanks for lookin.
Mike
You don't want your turtle fat, most turtles are overweight in captivity. Protein every other day and lots of veggies will insure a nice long life.

He looks fine. How large is HE. If he is larger than 4 inches or so he actually looks like a she. If he is smaller than he may not have developed his male characteristics yet. Overall he looks nice and healthy and in good shape so I wouldn't worry too much about trying to fatten him/her up.
how can you tell from those pics? he is bigger then 4. not sure exactly...maybe 6 or 7 inches. he could very well be a she. i just decided to call it a he. i got it free from a friend about a month ago.

Well if it is 6-7 inches congrats it's a girl!! Call her IgnaciA!!
Males have very long front claws and a long thick tail. They also get to be around 7-9 inches full sized while females go way over 10 or 11 inches.
A really nice animal just be prepared to give her a good sized home as she is gonna put on a few more inches for sure.
