Yaaay! Haha Kermit will be so happy in his crazy large tank.

If you send me your address, I can send you the ddr stuff for your computer! Are you rearranging your room for that?

PS, I laughed for a good ten minutes at your icon....

It didn't make me laugh so hard that I cried this time, though.

Aww! Yay for Kermit, he's going to be so excited. I can't believe he's still alive! Haha, that sounds terrible and mean...I'm just very impressed with your ability to keep him alive this long. How big is he now?

haha it's ok. He is about 6-7 inches long now. I'll take a picture of him and post it once he finishes shedding his shell. (he looks a bit spotty)

Red Eared Sliders can live up to 40 years and he'll be 10-12 inches long fully grown. :)

I guess I've just had the wrong idea put into my head - when I got my turtles my dad was mad at me for getting them "because those things are diseased and they'll die soon." Of course, mine and my sister's did, so I guess I've always thought that they all did. I'm glad he's proving that wrong though! lol

haha. I honestly never knew what all went into having a turtle. They need calcium supplements, uva/uvb lighting, lots of swimming space (about 10 gals per inch lengthwise), a land area, and a proper diet (protein, fruit, vegs).

Otherwise they'll die or will turn out deformed due to the deficiencies.

They're not diseased either. There's a law (most places) that you can't buy a turtle that's less than 4 inches long because the risk of salmonella greater, but that's about it.
