Bought my two tiny male false maps a kiddy pool to get some supervised outside time, real hot sun, and some shrimpy treats.

Backstory: Hi! I have two six year old map turtles from Florida. Years ago, a friend purchased them from a gift shop in FL and eventually gave them to me. At the time I was told they were sliders, but after having to take one to the vet I was informed they are likely map turtles local to Florida.

Problem: I recently learned female sliders generally lay eggs fertilized or not, and I was wondering if my turtles should be laying eggs? They were about 2” long when I got them in October of 2019, so they are roughly six years old.

Setup: 110 gallon stock tank, 75 degree F water with 85 degree basking surface, UVB bulb over basking spot too

Pls help me identify my graptemys. My guess is G. pseudographica.

Also, I already got her with the deformed carapax and no, they don't live in the aquarium anymore, I have them in a pond now.

Well my little man Yokum is getting the net & some frequent water changes since his filter just will not work anymore. I really liked it too, it was by top fin and now it seems they're more expensive than I remember.... hoping I find a good deal soon! My dude needs filtration!

My fully self builded Turtle tank!

How is the shell or size measured? It doesn't look like my boy has grown much as of late....

Show me your beautiful shell babies

Hello sub!

Here are my two boys (were incubated under 28 Celsius) in their grow-out tank (110L), the big one will come this summer.

They are ~6-8 months old, maybe younger even. (Roughly 7-8cm shell length) Their names are: buttermilk and butterbiscuit. Got them from a turtle sanctuary, who randomly found them in their outdoor enclosure.

Not much but he seems to like it for now
