The Latest Additions...

In case you never knew, wook's been the proud papa to 3 turtles for over a year (one yellow bellied slider, one Mississippi map, and one false map).  We acquired them on a mall trip one afternoon in October of 2007, just after wook relocated to Florida.  They were tiny then.  And luckily I brought my thumb drive with me to Virginia so I can fill you guys in.

Here are they are a couple of hours after we brought them home.  Kai was slightly confused, but very protective of the little guys.  Wook decided to get the third after realizing how cute they are.  Let's hope the same doesn't happen when he gets a dog.  Unless I get to yell, "mush!"

Well here's the recently upgraded tank.  Up to a 40-gallon, from a 20-gallon.  The turtles are probably 5-inches long now.  A serious growth spurt since their arrival in Florida.  And yes the photo is dark, just deal with it.  I wasn't going to flash the crap out of them, thus killing them, because wook doesn't eat turtle soup.

Now I know what you're thinking...but your title says "additions."  As you can see those glimmery things in the new tank, there are 6 new feeder fish to bring entertainment to our barbaric selves.  Muahhahah.  Okay, but for those humanitarians out there...it's been a couple hours since their introduction, and they're still alive.  There's one who's got a little hitch in his swimming (far beyond little Nemo), so we thought he's be the appetizer.  But guess not.  He's making the most of his $0.12 pricetag.
