Bob and Ducky are both girls. Or did you know this?
And bob is very over weight. She needs a diet. lol You can see the fat deposits hanging out of her shell infront of her hind feed.
Also they should have way more water to swim in than a few inches. The live more like fish than anything else. Could you fill the tank more? Red ears love to swim.

No offence, just noticed. Nice pics. They look happy.

Females have shorter "stubbier" claws where males have really long toes and claws

Very cute pics! And i'd have to agree, overweight! lol It's hard not to give them treats when they beg, I know!

Knew they were girls, Bob is comfortable with her appearance . Societal pressures can be soooo demanding .

Bob is an alpha female. She bogarts all the goodies which is actually one of the reasons Ducky is so small. Ducky, oddly enough can't stand to be far from Bob though. She's even got her own rock to sit on but its never good enough unless Bob is there as well.

I remember once hearing squabling coming from the tank and picking Ducky up to see what was wrong only to find Bob attached...by hanging onto Ducky's foot with her mouth.

Ahh my two prima donnas....

LMAO that's totally cute!! My males seem to have very little personality actually and rarely interact with each other. I think you have two great turtles!
