I've had these cute woodies since hatchlings, and they have grown quite nicely. The summer is near here in SoCal, so I've placed them in the newly built outdoor habitat...

The outdoor habitat...got some flowers and ferns, a small water area and one natural bark hiding place...


The famous orange water tray from THD...




A small turtle is making its own discovery in the woods... :D


white and black... time to give them a bath...


A nice wash on the turtle's shell will reveal the beautiful pattern...


This one is the biggest of all, will bully other small ones when it comes across...






The small one tries to gorge in one more cricket before the bully shows up...


Time to bask under the bright sunshine...


Got one hiding in the corner...


Even under the hot blazing sun, they still like to gather together to keep each other warm... :D

Wow awesome shell colouration! Can we have more closeups of their clean shells?

They're gorgeous! I had no idea their shells were so pretty, I rescued one some years ago, they had painted her shell with Tremclad and drilled a hole to keep it leashed up...

What a nice looking group. I have always liked the looks of these turtles from the legs to the shell and everything in between. :D
