Welcome to Sanka and Marla

[turtlegirl]

i wasn't planning to adopt any more turtles but these two needed a good home fast. Their Daddy was emigrating to the US in 3 days time and the person who was meant to be buying them and their tank changed his mind a the last moment. Tank was sold to a fishkeeper who didn't want the turtles.

So at 3 hours notice I headed off to collect
Sanka - 18 cm shell East Australian snake neck
Marla - 19cm beautiful black girl which Wayne identified as a Cumberland slider

Sanka has his own tank and Marla now shares a large plastic Turtle World indoor pond with two YBS Prince and Alice. Bought the pond specially for them from www.turtle-supplies.co.uk

Have you any pictures of the cumberland please

Yes I do. She's melanistic and much darker than normal for her species. Not sure how to upload them here though
