Turtle turtle :)

Well, I will be getting this little guy next week. He is the first one to hatch out of his clutch and he was born about 3-4 weeks ago. It is a hatchling Black Knobbed Sawback Map Turtle. My all time favorite turtle! I absolutely love this species and its an amazing turtle to have. He/she won't be lonely at my house! He will be housed with my Pearl River Map Turtle that I got in March of last year. It was actually supposed to be a Black Knobbed Sawback Map Turtle, but they sent me the Pearl instead. Since then I have been looking for hatchling Black Knobbed Sawback Map Turtles! So this is what he looks like. I need name suggestions! Zac

Whoa that guy looks pretty neat. My name suggestion would be Spike.

 

[ChameleonRave]

I know right! I am considering the name to be Burt, but we are getting a new kitten in a few weeks so we might name the cat Burt.. lol

I was actually going to do that with my other turtles, but I didn't. This species stays fairly small unlike the Red Eared Sliders which get to be huge, they stay around 3.5-4 inches if a male and 6-8 if a female.

im likeing the tutles and tortois's alot latley hmmmmmm....

If you ever get some, go to fauna. they have amazing prices on turtles from local breeders.. If anyone tries to get one from turtlesale/turtleshack, they aren't the best from other peoples opinion, but then again I have ordered from them and got the wrong turtle (Pearl River Map Turtle) which was $150 less than what I paid for the Black Knob.

I've had a sulcata for over a year now. They are easily maintained, but a lot end up neglected. Just make sure you really them.

SO jealous! I love this species! I don't keep water turtles anymore due to too many maintenance requirements and not enough time but if I did it would be sawbacks.

Ha, I am going to Petsmart/Petco this weekend to get a new dock and some water plants, substrate, and some live feeder fish/snails and live plants for the tank. I hate to clean it out. I haven't had substrate in my tank for almost 8 months now, because its so hard to get it all clean.. I will have two sawbacks as of next week!

Oh yes it is! Tonight I will try and attach a picture of my Pearl River Map Turtle and all the colour she has! I only see Red Eared Sliders in petshops. I know they have Map, Musk, Painteds, and occasionally Sliders in and around the Mississippi, my plan is to go turtle hunting (catch and release) this summer when I visit family in Hudson, WI.
