A few years ago I came to this forum for help with a wild-caught baby painted turtle my coworker gave me. I was never planning on having an aquatic turtle, but she knew I had a tortoise and could take better care of a turtle than she could at the time.
Thank you all for your help:) It's really neat to see all the same users who helped me are still active. My turtle went from the size of a silver dollar to 7 inches (and she's a girl!)

Thats awesome. Do you have a picture of the plastron? I'm curious how that vibrant red coloring changes after a couple years.
