Park pics

[fartkowski]

I thought I would post a few pictures I took at the park.
I'll start with this little guy.

That 4th pic is pretty cool Chris.

 

[fartkowski]

Thanks man.
This guy was pretty cool.
Any ideas on what type it is?
I have no idea with turtles.

 

[ahas]

It' s a Red-Eared Slider. My wife has one. Probably one of those unwanted turtles that was left by their owners.

Thanks man

Male red eared slider turtle
And a nice looking one at that!
I have a big ol mean female

 

[fartkowski]

About how big do these guys get?
If I remember correctly, the one in the pictures was about 6" to 7" in length.
I could be off slightly tho

 

[ahas]

Adult size would be as big as a dinner plate. Ours is about maybe 7 inches now I think. He' s 4 years old.

 

[fartkowski]

Thanks.
I was thinking of getting one.
Good thing the expo is not far off

Huh, here they are everywhere the babies are around in Aug-Dec, not very popular here being introduced and all.

 

[ahas]

Yeah, get one Chris. They' re not as expensive as other turtles. I think they are better looking than other turtles in my opinion.

Can' t wait for September expo. I wanna get new Ts. :drool:

aww that racoon is so cute looking. i wish we had them in the uk. are they as much of a pest as the movies make out? wot with destroying bins all the time and breaking into houses for food and whatever else the films show...

 

[fartkowski]

They will get into trouble some times
In my experience they are not as bad as they make them out to be.
I have seen them pick thru garbage, but thats about it.

 

[fartkowski]

One of our little buddies
There will be tons of squirrel pictures.
I like squirrels, as you can tell from my avatar.
Also some of the pictures were takin by my wife (squirrelfriend on the boards)

 

[fartkowski]

Another little guy

 

[fartkowski]

Red squirrels are really cute.
They are alot smaller than grey or black squirrels but man are they fiesty
They dominate the park.
