Found a baby pic of Cinnamon... From Agust 2011, the day i got her. Hard to believe she used to fit in my hand! She still has lots more growing to do. But she seems to double ever six months!

Nice growth. Beautiful turtle.

Nice growth. Beautiful turtle.

Thank you. She has quite a personality. Loves her some lettuce! She is almost 7" on the bottom.

What a cutie!

That is so cool, great pics.

 

[Momof4]

Your doing something right! She looks great!

Very nice! Pseudemys are some of my favorite turtles to keep.

Thanks. She is really cool. Such a different personality then my other turtles. She is very friendly. She will eat lettuce out of my hand.

They're like manatees of the US turtle world. I think their size, diet and temperament makes them so cool. I used to keep Pseudemys gorzugi for years and really got to love that genus. Too bad they're not a good fit for my Northerly climate.

Good luck with her! Next time you update us, she might be double that size!

Those are the non soft shell qualities I like in a turtle.

Hey don't rub it in!! I love those qualities too, but all those big cow like chelonians don't belong in a New England basement, haha. You Southerners have all the fun!!

I totally agree though Gerard. I'm sure I'm forgetting some in the moment, but Podocnemis, Pseudemys, the bigger Trachemys, Batagur, Orlitia, Hardella, Geoclemys, even though they eat mostly snails instead of greens, and Heosemys grandis would all be amazing. I suppose I'll just have to dream, until my wife lets me drag her South!

Morenia, Dermatemys, Hieremys, Peltocephalus, they're all awesome! You guys are crazy living up in that weather. I just bought my first pair of pants the other day, it got into the 40's, you know, freezing!

 

[Anthony P]

Hhahahahahaa!!!!

And of course I was forgetting so many genera when I mentioned those earlier. How could I forget your Morenia!!??

I wear shorts up hear anyway! I refuse to give in to the cold. I've been taking my dogs out every night in my shorts, even though most nights it's been below 0 degrees F. It's crazy to think that in a month or so, turtles like C. guttata will be waking up. There's 3 ft of snow on the ground!!!

That is quite a growth for less than 2 years. Beautiful turtle!
