photos of your turtles

[Twitch_80]

I just noticed you have a pug, the better half wants a pug or french bulldog but Im not sold. I just started a thread of funny animal pics and 90% of the dressed up dogs are pugs. Wonder why

 

[Jazzz]

there are definitely native painted turtles. Not sure if the one in the photo is though...

 

[Twitch_80]

I like the painted's a lot but not legal in Vic

 

[Jazzz]

ohh that sucks =/ any special reason why?

 

[Twitch_80]

Not sure, turtle laws are a bit funny, I dont think your allowed any in Tas anymore and when they changed it a whole lot were brought to melb for adoption, its all a bit strange.

Here is a few photos of 3 of the 14 adult Oblong I have in my turtle pond.
If this season goes well, I should have a pond set up for some Flat Shell Turtles.

lookin forward to seein more.

[Jazzz]

yeah they are =] we were gonna get some...

oh wait pignose or painted?

 

[Twitch_80]

Yeah it is a bit sad, prob a good reason but I havent looked into it. Im building a pond at the moment but its just a hole so far lol, going to put a cage type thing over it (like giant bird cage) and keep gippys in it as well. I will use permaculture to filter the water and grow vegies. The dragons will keep bugs off them and the turtle poo will fertalize them and the cage will keep cats out. Big project.

There is a photo of one of my dogs in the funny animal pic thread I just started.

yeah but heat lamps as well but that life and i rather have them then what most people waste money on these day hahahaha

[Jazzz]

but what we spend in electricity is made up by the lack of vet bills, flea stuff, more expensive food ect, of a cat or dog =]

 

[Twitch_80]

True true, I just got solar as well so hoping it helps.

 

[Jazzz]

definitely should!

it doesnt really use toooo much if you only have a small collection... i only have 2 turtles and a python and its hardly more
