They have grown

In the last couple of months the turtles have grown a lot and have gotten a new friend. A fourth turtle has been added to the tank and though he is small he has proven to be more than able to keep up with the bigger guys.

I have added a bunch of feeder fish to the tanks, which not only makes the tank look more lively but has proved to be another source of food for the Turtles. It is a crazy event when one of the Turtles catches a fish because the other Turtles all try to get a piece of the fish as well and you see 3-4 Turtles all wrestling with each other over the food. The little Turtle is constantly snatching the fish away from the other 3 and tries to hide in a corner with it. It is all a rather amusing event to watch.

I am thinking of switching the Turtles tank with the one for my snake. The Ball Python is in a 25 gallon tank and I think she would be fine in the smaller one considering she is always hiding in her den. The Turtles really need more space now that there are four of them and considering the amount of mess they make in the tank it might be easier if I more area for them and a larger filter. So we shall see. I will try to put up some new pics of the Turtles soon and possibly posting about my snake.
