2 Female Hatchlings

Its been a long time I decided to have new turtles though I already have 2 turtles. I want it badly because they are so cute and makes me crazy thinking of their cute little face..haha.. So I went to Aquatic Store near my house and buy 2 hatchlings turtles for RM16 for two. They are totally cute.. yeay~! After I buy the babies then I told my boyfriend and my parent.. hehe.. they quite suprised and little angry.. haha.. now they fine.

Its been 3 days since I got the baby turtles.
But one of my babies looks like have some white spots or fungus at her skin and her shell also looks not pretty good which have some black spot though I know she going to shed her shell soon. In order to fix the problem... I had fixed my table lamp because the bulb is broken and change the bulb (not actually new bulb, is just my dad found in his store and give it to me).. the table lamp not for me to use for study matter but for my babies.. haha.. The light is substitute for sunlight to them basking and give some heat to them in that small aquarium..

The small aquarium made only for hatchling which have small bridge and base for them to basking.. I hope my sick baby will get better soon.

I feed my babies with Nutrafin pellets made for turtles, some dried shrimp, cuttlebone (rich with calcium and good for shell) and fresh lettuce.

Totto & Totti the RES

First of all let me introduce my turtles/terrapins/tortoise. They are the Red Ear Sliders (RES) and scientific name are Trachemys scripta elegans. I have 2 turtles namely Totto the male 2 years age and Totti the female 1 year 9 months age.

Currently they live in kiddie pool where I place them outside my house at the porch. They have quite large swimming space and the water level is 5 inch deep. Inside the pool I decorate with plastic grass, plastic aquatic plant, river rocks, crystal colored stones and large driftwood for them to bask on it and rest on it after tired swimming. Basically they love their 'home' and always seen them basking most of the time and swimming around.

For their diet, I feed them with Nutrafin Pellets which made only for turtles, vegies such lettuce, fruits like mango, banana, guava, dried shrimps, fish flakes and cuttlebone.

One day I will be buy them a big tank with real plant and decorate the tank like real pond. They will have a filters to clean up the waters, heater for good water temperature, good basking light for their shell.
