It’s actually winter here but I came across some pictures taken last summer when the turtles spent most of their time outside in a kiddy pool.

For a while now Charlotte has been trying to convince me to buy her a new dock – apparently the old dock does not match her feng-shui aquarium. How does she persuade me? By starting to eat it. She had a Zoo Med Floating Turtle Dock which seemed sturdy enough to me, but apparently it’s [...]

Charlie and Charlotte have recently celebrated their birthdays, he’s 1 year old and she’s 2 years old. To this extent, I’ve decided to go all out and buy them some “presents”. And what would be a better present for a turtle, than FOOD? I purchased one pound of live worms, red wriggler worms to be exact. I [...]

It’s been quite a while since my last post. I don’t have many things to report since then except that I’ve learnt my lesson with regards to the turtles sharing one tank together. This summer, the turtles have spent most of the sunny days outside in a child pool. I think they enjoyed it and [...]

A few weeks ago I decided to give cohabitation another chance. I kept a very close eye on Charlie and Charlotte for the first few hours, then the first few days, after which I became confident that they are okay with each other’s presence. There were no signs of aggression – they were eating, basking, [...]

In the last few weeks, Charlie’s tail has grown quite a lot, confirming my original suspicion (or rather feeling) that he is a boy. He looks a little bit funny now that the tail is as big as his paws and has become the first thing you see when you look at him. No significant [...]

The title says it all. Last night, while having a little chat with Charlotte, I had a feeling that something is was missing from her tank. True, the rocks and decorations had all been moved to one corner, but there was something else that wasn’t in its place. After a minute or two I realized [...]

I’ve finally decided on a name for the new turtle. After about a week of calling her a different name everyday I eventually settled on Charlotte. I really like the name and I think it suits her, but also it is the female version of Charlie’s name so it seems like it’s a nice coincidence. [...]

Saturday, February 27/2010. Turtle delivery! Yes, I finally received the new turtle. She’s still a red ear slider, but is almost 2 years old and about 5 inches long (haven’t measured her yet). Her name is Myrtle but I’m in the process of finding a new name for her. The old owner says that the [...]
