what kinds were they? i have 4 turtles of my own (2 painteds, 1 map, and a snapper), if any of them died or had to go, i would be very depressed for months. i love those little guys*sniff*

They were red ear sliders, but ate like pigs. ;)
I went all out for them for 1 year; 3 different sized tanks, a separate tank for feeding, tank filter, water heater, and ultra-violet light, not to mention various toys, islands and caves. I couldn't keep up with their growth and had no room for anything larger than a 10 gallon tank. I'm sure they will be better off in the huge tank at the pet store. It was so cool, I wanted to jump in!
