Picked up some Northern Diamondback Terrapins

Just wanted to show off these beautiful little derps. I'm so glad I ran across them at the reptile expo in Taylor, Michigan.

Those are quite lovely! I didn't realize they had such strong patterning.

At this point it might be kind of belated, but I hope those were captive bred. The turtles are threatened in the wild from over-collection in the past (although admittedly they're only rated as near threatened). If not, it's not a huge deal, but I wouldn't patronize the people you got them from again.
