well,about 2 months ago i posted a message in the hybrids forum,where my spotted male practically violated my female eastern painted while TEMPORARILY sharing an enclosure.i accidently broke the painted's tank in a cleaning incident,and in the hour or so that it took me to go to wal-mart,get some aquarium silicone,and repair the painted tank,the male spotted was ALL over the female painted.i was hoping for eggs,just for s&g's,but sadly,she was killed by a dog that got into my backyard 2 weeks later.i had moved the painteds into my backyard pond,and i thought that a 2 1/2' chicken-wire fence would be enough to keep the turtles in,and potential predators out,but my new neighbors had a boxer that thought otherwise.well,if karma counts for anything,it was hit by a car a week later(sadly,not my car).so,lesson learned,i guess.no turtles that i truly value go into my backyard from now on,period.
