**Baby_Baby** · 08-18-2005, 03:35 PM

**fish_doc** · 08-18-2005, 07:34 PM

very nice crisp pictures. The turtle looks really cool too.

**Baby_Baby** · 08-18-2005, 07:46 PM

hey fish_doc ( i know this is off topic) but like whenever i put my cursor over the red dot at the bottom of your user name or whatever (that tells your online status) it says "fish_doc is invisible" lol I think its hilarious!

maxpayne_lhp · 08-18-2005, 08:50 PM

Nothing funny!.... protect his privacy!
lol jk ok... just don't talk about that...

Fishfreaks: Sorry but I feed her (til now, we can only say that cause it's still immature) and flakes. They (2 of them) also accept veggy.

Baby, name them for me as soon as I know the other gender of the other turtle ok?

fishfreaks · 08-18-2005, 08:59 PM

ooh cool! my lfs feeds them salads and vegetables. I've been wanting one but need to find room....how fast do they grow?

maxpayne_lhp · 08-18-2005, 09:35 PM

_Salad won't give enough nutritional requirement. You can go to some turtle forums or reptile forums for help about veggy food to feed them.
_They grow quite slow (Cause they live long...) and you can keep them as juvenile (But I suggest no to keep too small turtles cause they somtimes can't live long) mine get to this size (Click to enlarge):
+Number 1:

+Number 2:

You can buy some with a little smaller size (I've had them for years now)
~Dear~

fishfreaks · 08-18-2005, 09:40 PM

i think they are illegal here in pa as small guys. but they do sell them here about as big as yours!

maxpayne_lhp · 08-18-2005, 09:44 PM

Ya, I'm all hands for that size... Fishfreaks, if you want addresses to the reptile forums, I can help... just PM me

fishfreaks · 08-18-2005, 09:55 PM

Max, im doing some research and i found this...

Quote:

There are federal regulations in effect that pertain to the sale of turtles with shell lengths of less than four (4) inches. With some exceptions, turtles offered for sale are supposed to have shell length greater than four inches. These regulations were created a number of years ago to address concerns that small children, who may acquire these turtles as pets might put them into their mouths and contract Salmonellosis. Salmonella bacteria can sometimes be found on turtles that have been kept in captivity. The US Food and Drug Administration and the US Fish and Wildlife Service can enforce these federal regulations. The Fish and Boat Commission does not have authority to enforce these regulations

now i just have to find room and learn more! Could you PM them to us max, that would be great

maxpayne_lhp · 08-18-2005, 10:16 PM

Ya, the keepers also suggest not to purchase any reptiles that are smaller than months of age (depends on the species itself: Like the chameleon: 3 months+ is good to start) cause they're fragile when very young... That's what I learnt from the boards

Done, Mr and Mrs...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-19-2005, 04:19 PM

hmmm well whats the genders of your little turts? I can find tons of names (I'm one of those nerdy gifted children who have never seen the sun........)

maxpayne_lhp · 08-19-2005, 08:43 PM

The bigger one seems to be a pre-mature male. The smaller one is not identified clearly... give it some more time...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-21-2005, 06:15 PM

alright. you can name the guy Franklin (anyone ever heard of that little kiddy cartoon?)

cucci67 · 08-22-2005, 01:13 PM

Franklin is cool, but I like the name Gilbert. LOL
