    Just thought I would share a few photos of my turtles.

    These 'babies' we got in November last year and are now about 3" big, twice the size of when we first had them.

    They live in a tank in the lounge, whereas the two big turtles my son has (Pippa & Ben) live in a 5 foot tank upstairs!

    Here is Missy & Max :)

    Slider Terrapins! One of my earliest pets. First had them when I was 12.
    I kept one at work for 5 years (it was 8ins long then, Sealife Centre took it on three years ago.

    I only have Oriental Fire Bellied Toads now.
    Tree Frogs, Anoles, Pythons, Geckos... those were the days:)

    The two older, bigger turtles are Yellow Belly Sliders. Guessing yours might have been a Red Ear Slider if it was a fair few years back as they were the most common turtles years ago. Yellow Bellies grow not quite as big as Red Ears but still about the size of a dinner plate in some cases!

    The two babies in photos are Mississippi Map Turtles. They grow to between 3 - 6 " :)
