Delores and Esteban
A few days ago my boyfriend and I adopted two red eared sliders.
Out of the blue, he announced that he had always wanted turtles. I've never put any thought into turtles, honestly. They were never a species I thought I would own, even after getting into reptiles.
So I did what I do whenever I'm considering a new species - researched the heck out of them. The care didn't sound as difficult or expensive as I imagined, especially if I used a few DIY and "less pretty but still perfectly functional" options.
Anyway, I got on board, and we went and met these two beautiful turtles that apparently had a good sized tank with a basking area in the past, but recently had been living in a large, shallow Tupperware container laid in the bathtub, with a couple of inches of water.
They seemed friendly, and looked reasonably healthy, so we decided to take them home.
Here are some photos of their first few days with us. Still perfecting the setup, but it's a HUGE step up from where they came from. Making a trip to the pet store later today for more supplies.
TL;DR - we are in love with these turtles.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
