New Turtle

[Vicious_Fish]

I picked this guy/gal up at the reptile show I was at over the weekend. It's a young Red Cheek Mud Turtle (Kinosternon scorpioides cruentatum) which is native to Central America. This was the first time I've ever come across one for sale so I couldn't pass it up. Hopefully I'll figure out what sex it is and find a mate for it.

Thanks Jinkz! The turtle is in quarantine right now but I may add it to my musk turtle tub. We'll see. These guys are a little less aquatic than musks and also like more land area. I'm really digg'n this guy though, he/she is super friendly and eats right out of my hand.
