Re: Southern Painted Turtles
Pictures incoming of turtles, and their habitat.
They're in a small waterland tub, 55" x 25" x 12"
I feed them in a small rubbermaid tub that I change the water in every day, they're on zoomed hatchling formula and a few crickets each day. I'm going sparingly on the crickets because of their phosphorous content, but they're helping entice the more reluctant feeders.
There's five of them total, but I couldn't get a picture of all five together.
The land side is river rock and sand, with astroturf on top.

Re: Southern Painted Turtles
One more pic!
I"m currently dealing with a "slime" problem. It floats on top of the water, and coats everything. I'm changing the water every week now, and wiping it off the turtles every day after feeding. I don't know what's causing it, I've never had it before in turtle tanks, and never seen it before in anyone else's turtle tanks. Going to put in some algae eaters (I know they'll get eaten eventually), and going to double up the filtration this week.

Re: Southern Painted Turtles
Turtles are indeed a lot of work, but they're also very satisfying. They have a very strong feeding response and tame down quite a lot. They're cautious, but also very curious.
They are a ton of work, but well worth it. They're just so dang adorable. They are exact miniatures of their adult form.

Re: Southern Painted Turtles
Nice looking set up. Will that be big enough when they get older or will you have to move them into something bigger?

Re: Southern Painted Turtles
I imagine I'll split them into two tubs by gender when they get bigger, if nothing else so I don't end up with an unexpected clutch of eggs.
