    Introducing my map turtle to a new friend..

    A friend asked me if I wanted her 10year old, 7" male YBS to co-habitate with my ~1-2 year old, 4" male missisippi map. My turtle has been alone with me for almost a year now, I don't know what he's like with company. I don't know what this other turtle is like either. I don't think my tank...

    Skin shedding

    I have a (roughly) 6mth old male mississippi map, had him for the past 3 months. Recently (last 3weeks ish) he's started shedding more and more, especially around his neck.
