Any baby turtles, Dan?

Just wondering. Haven't heard anything since you got eggs, or can't remember at least.

Well, it's official, I definitely want a much larger stock tank. This one is nice, but it's not big enough for my likes. I'm eyeing a six foot in diameter, round stock tank. I can then just put a square plastic bucket in the middle and fill it with soil and sand for a land area and have plenty of room left over for water plants, driftwood, etc. I am then planning to turn the current stock tank I'm using into a cactus bed. I already have some choice cuttings started; I just have to find a sunny spot in the yard...

I thought for sure I'ld have some this yr. Curtis.I just lost 4 eggs that where looking good but collapsed on me.

I'm thinking my males may need 1 more yr to be good to go.Bums me out but will be worth the wait. The first hatchling has your name on it.

I did finally get my new enclosure built.6x4 ft of water and 2 1/2 ftx4 ft land area.DIY filter that works way better than any store bought for a fraction of the cost. I still need to get some good plantings going in the land area and get the drain installed (it's not staying where it is)and some little stuff, but otherwise they all seem very happy with the new home.

I'll have to take some pics and e-mail them to ya.
