Tommy turtle has come to live at my house. Of course after he was given to me I find out what he REALLY needs to be happy and comfy. So he now has his own 10 gallon aquarium, his own heat lamp, floating wood piece to get up on, I dropped a heater in to keep his water warm...good grief

Oh Mary he is sooo cute....It was sooo hard to let my Franklin go at a pond this year..but, he started nipping and chasing Ginger(my female asagi) around and I was afraid he would hurt her......come this spring I will be really having to watch my step around here...I find them all over...we usually end up with around 20 or more before its all said and done..I usually just give them away....hey if you need any plants for him to hide in or eat let me know...I have tons of anacharis and hornwort....

P.S. I've missed you....hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New year....

I think I'll hang here for awhile.
Obviously we don't have much in wild turtles around here though I did see one on the road by a nearby stream :'( He wasn't very alive anymore. I don't really have any idea what kind it was or even if it is a native turtle.
I have a few plants I threw in with the goldies in the show tank in the greenhouse that I might grab a few pieces of.
Can I put guppies or something like that in with him? I wouldn't really care if he ate them, just nice to have something else swimming in there too.
He's happily sunbasking under his fake sunlight. I think he ate today cause the food pieces I put in seem to have disappeared!

I think I will get him some guppies or white clouds. Depends on which I can find cheap
He loved my frozen blood worms that I usually feed the betta's and tetras in the aquarium.

He is really cute! i love the first shot of him.
My BIL on Long Island, has a turtle like Tommy, and he is outside all year long. He is bigger then your little guy, tho.
I remember when i was a kid, buying them at the local Woolworth's, for 29 cents!

He LOVES the blood worms that I feed the bettas and trops in the 10 gallon. He gets good exercise chasing around the last 2 guppies..guess they are smarter than the other 4

I love him! He's adorable!
I've kept turtles for years, so if you need any help, let me know.
Oh yeah - you can put almost any fish in with him. White clouds might be better able to outswim him than guppies. Eventually, he'll leave more than he eats and when he gets to be an adult, he will almost (but not quite) quit chasing them down and eating them!

He's such a cutie. We only found one turtle this year, and he had been hit by a car. We brought him home cleaned his crack in his shell, and put medical tape on it crack and called around to find a rehaber. My vets office took him, and said they would give him all the medical things he needed and then turn him over to a turtle sanctuary.

Tommy sure is a vibrant lookin turtle, we have Shelby the Turtle.... I wanna see pics of your tank with your floating piece of wood. The kids have a rock in with her that she climbs up in, and the other day I cut the sides out of a throw away bowl, she loves to hide there! I need to find her some plants to hide in, didn't think of that til I saw it on here! I'll post some pics of shelby this afternoon. Gina

He's adorable. I hope you love him lots. He could be around a while. I have a turtle named Michael that I got 43 years ago. Yes, he's real. He was one of those 25 cent turtles from Woolworth's. My mom thought he'd be a fun pet. He's showing no signs of aging and I think I have to put him in my will.
