Here are our new additions. They are too small to be housed with my adult, so they will be living in temporary quarters over the next year. A 40 br. I'll post pics of that and more pics of these little guys later.

They are adorable Chris!! How big will they be when they are adults? Did you get the UV light from Mike's? The bulb had about 2 months of use on it...I'm sure the sleeve needs to be cleaned  LMK if you are missing any of the parts to hook it up/on. I have a box of stray pieces.

Dean, Happy B-day. My adult is different from them. I can send you a link to their parents though. Mom has an amazing shell pattern. Kathy, I got it, but didn't do anything with it yet. Not sure if I'm missing anything, but if so, I'll take care of it. The males grow 4 to 6 inches while the females grow well over 12 inches. Phil, Chesapeake Bay Diamondback Terrapins. 2nd generation captive raised. My adult is actually more local. Plain old northern DBT. Cute face, but plain shell. These guys are brackish, so they will have all the things my reef had for water quality, to include skimming and ozone (thanks lubu). Water quality is the hardest part about keeping aquatic turtles of any kind. My adult was kept in poor conditions by someone for well over a year before I got him and I can't tell you what my wife and I have gone through to save his shell.
