What a cute little guy! I want one! Seriously!
I think I seen a pastel RES in a turtle book, but I cannot remember the book at all. I may have it laying around the house.
Thanks for posting the pics, now I am going to have to track down and find me a turtle been a long time since I had a turtle
Wow that guy is sooo cute. What are their temps/ husbandry. I see large RES in ponds here and they seem to be real healthy. I have a friend who found one(alive) in a muddy drainage area in an avacado orchard? Some one must have released it.
Temps are pretty easy. Juvies are kept around 78-80 and older ones a couple of degrees lower. If you keep it too cool they may stop eating, but I think it has to get down to the 60's for a bit for that to happen. He is on a pellet diet right now. It's hard to tell how much he is eating because they just kind of nip at the floating sticks. They will eat more veggies later on. I give him a dry spot above water on each side of the tank so he has a choice of temps as one side has a basking light and uvb. Thanks for all of the comments about him....everyone in this house loves him to death
