The confusion I'm experiencing is that Kenopher called the male a cooter and jgSAV, you are saying slider, and the female is a cooter?

Do I have this correct?

Anyway, I have a 130 gallon pond in an outdoor enclosure, and I will have to rig up something in the basement for winter time, but I have enough room/resources to do so.

Soooo....I'm gonna tell the shelter to go ahead and send them!! I'm excited! Hope I can give these two "kids" a better life than what they had before!

(Thanks for the info and help!)
