Alright, herp experts, let's see if can identify some turtles in the apartment. First one's easy:  Second one will be uber hard. Trying to get pictures of it right now, but he/she isn't cooperating.

LOL, not sure if it's male or female. Think it's female based on size.... not sure about it. Pic of the head and neck.  *Hint, I bought it at Wal-Mart.

Alright, herp experts, let's see if can identify some turtles in the apartment. First one's easy: That is Leonardo, which is weird, because he usually walks around with Donatello and wears a blue bandanna.

Closer. Not that either, but it sure is pretty like one. What I first thought when I bought it that it was some sort of map turtle, but then no ridges.
LOL, not sure if it's male or female.
Looks female to me. Females generally have longer nails for burying eggs.....no bs. Yeah, males usually have longer front claws to grasp the female and are smaller. Females have longer rear claws and larger. It's already a little bigger than the known males, but no eggs from it yet.

My grandma would call it a soup turtle, she loved turtle soup.

Chinese Golden Thread http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/cs-chinesegoldenthread.htmWas visiting my cousin's in Shenzhen China few years ago. He saw it and just had to have it. My cousin's all into herps. They also had a six foot alligator and 12+ foot cobra at the Walmart that day. Walmarts are uhmmm different in China. We asked about the cobra and were told it was not allowed to leave the store alive. Alligator on the other hand was able to leave alive. We took one of my tech crew members out and filled him with liquid courage. He was then out $1,500 and tring to figure out how to make the one-mile trip back home cause my cousin and I were not part of buying it and no taxis would pick a foreigner up who was dragging a live alligator. He made it back to his flat eventually with the gator and he then had a new bathroom pet.
