My first foray into herps started with turtles! When I was a wee lass, I dreamt of having a turtle of my own. In high school I had a kiddy pool with various sliders. Well I've decided to jump back into turtles again. A trip into a local mom-n-pop pet shop got me inspired when I saw some hatchling soft shells, an incredible snake-neck (which I'm probably gonna get once I setup another tank), and some fly river turtles (out of my price range). Here's some pics of my turts and their aquarium:

It's awesome how it buries itself in the sand, Peek-a-boo!:

Feel free to post pics of your turtle tanks!
