when summer comes I'll get some better pics but for now here ya go

Nice to see them

Great looking turtles do you house them together?
Rita

yes, they don't seem to mind each other and actually are usually very close together. they are brumating now or I'd take a pic. they are male and female and I hope to get some babies from them this year. I just got them around Xmas.

Did you brumate them to breed them? I ask because I have one male(he doesnt like company) and never brumated him.
I have however spoken to people that have housed two males or two females for yrs and never a single prob.
A pair must be nice.
Rita

yes I plan on breeding them, not sure if they will but I think they should. I keep them outdoors when the weather permits it and I think they should do what comes naturally. I'll get more pics as the weather get nicer

Once you keep them outdoors . It breaks your heart and theirs to bring them in. Its to cold here now for outdoor kiddie pool I use with mesh screen cover.
When I put him out again when weather gets warmer day/night will post it. They just look better outside . They are more active and their "color" is better.
Something about that fresh air and the sunlight (my kiddie pool is half shaded half sunlight).
Its 6 inches of water and haul out large rocks and driftwood but large at 6 feet in diameter.
