Lmao. Oh ok.. The reason I didn't second guess it was some turtles are sexed by the nails. Only problem with mine is she didn't like to stick her tail out

Actually yes. Is there any way to get a ball park of her age? I know they said she was about 2 years old and they were very good owners but I just want to be certain

Awe. I'm not sure where she came from. I hope it wasn't from petsmart or co. I heard the messed up stuff they do and treat their animals and I don't like the thought of taking a animal out of their natural habitat unless born there. That's the reason I bought my RES. My son and I almost hit a painted turt and he would destroy his tank. He wanted out. So I made s deal with my son if he let him go then ide get him a captive born turtle.

I've been on a few sites and one said that females can be harder to come by due to breeding. Females are in higher demand due to the sex. I can care less if its true. I don't plan on mating her. Just didn't know if it was just a bunch of BS or not

I used to catch baby turtles and put them in a tank but i felt bad:( so i returned them where i found them. i have seen them a couple times after i released them:)

Oh i get it now. yea female torts are a little harder to come by because of people breeding them.
