These are for Xavier. I've been meaning to take some pictures of them for quite a while, but was hesitating because I didn't want to take the camera and flash down off the tripods. LOL

I tried to get one of the whole tank, but it didn't turn out. :main_no:

Before I got them, I was under the impression that they needed/wanted a lot more land area. However, they spend very little time out of the water. It almost seems like they are swimming constantly. After they eat is about the only time I see them perched under the basking light.

Very Nice Paul! They seem not to big yet just how big are they? Nice roomy tank I see, looks like a very nice set up. I have found that when its dark all the rest of the lights in the room off and the camera at an sharp angle so the flash can't bounch back at the camera my aquarium pics turn out pretty nice.
I need to get more pics of my turtles.

Paul, are they in the upstairs tank? They look cool.


Not any more. I moved them downstairs to the 120 because I want to get rid of the 150s. I haven't completed "outfitting" their new tank yet, because I want to build a top that will hold the basking and UV lights better than what's on there now.

When I got them they were barely the size of quarters (if that) and now the biggest is about 2 1/2". I'll try your suggestion for getting a better picture of the tank, too. Actually, I'll probably grab the tripod and set the flash up above the tank to hopefully eliminate the glare, but I'll have to mess with it a little.
