Oh those are so cute! Even when they get 'older'.
I like sidenecks... these guys are really flexible, what are you planning on keeping him in?

He is in a 20 gallon aquarium currently. I have a 55 gallon once he is a little bigger, and an outdoor pond once he is not so appetizing. I am really enjoying him. He is not shy at all.

Beautiful! I'm looking into getting two pink belly side necked turtles in April! Does he have a name yet?

126 grams. Does her shell look ok? It looks like it is peeling.

Up to 10 inches across. The houston zoo has several that they have had for a while. They appear to be a little smaller than that, but are housed indoors. She will be in a pond once i don't have to worry about wildlife eating her. Houston sunshine seems to do wonders for growth. My tortoise starting growing so much once he went outside full time. I just take her out for supervised pond time currently.
