Not quite fish related, but they're freshwater and they don't have a special forum for them (). Here's the 3 Snake-Necks (Phew, I didn't spell it snack-necks that time!) that I received on Friday.

I am sure you like them very much but I personally don't like the snake necks, they give me the creeps :roll:

At least red eared turtles are cute

I suppose you dislike E.T too? :roll:

At least red eared turtles are cute

Heard a few bad stories about RET, so I decided to get the more peaceful snake-necks

Awww, cute.

ET didn't do a thing for me! :lol:

They're about the size of a 50 cent coin! Very small

they are so cute chris

im glad you got them ok

let me know how they go 8)

cool chris

I'm not complaining about my red-ear...he was given to me

I think those little snake necks are really cool, they do look a bit odd but still great.

Adam & I fell in love with some snake necks they had at our LFS but at $135ea we couldn't afford them. But they were great they would come out to look at us and follow Adams finger round. I really wanted one! Yours are so cute and little, how big do they get?

> ... how big do they get?

I got mine with a body about the size of a 5 cent piece or a little bigger

(ie, just hatched) about 10 years ago I guess. The biggest is a good seven inches now and has been laying eggs.

They're a great pet turtle, I'd like to move mine into the house so I could keep a better eye on them.

I've had (and bred) RETs and much prefer the snakenecks to have around.

Goodness, We have just had a big flap here in S E Queensland when the Enviromental Protection Agency found Red Eared sliders in a couple of small lakes! They spent untold A$$$$$$ to drain the lakes and took everything out just for a couple of hundred turtles

Then you look back to the big drought we had and the same mob spent equal $$$ relocating a few hundred snake necks and saw back turtles when their lagoon dried up. :roll:

Talk about dumb! They could have sold the red ears to the pet trade and got their money back and put a few snake necks and saw backs in the lagoon when the rains came. And our taxes pay these brilliant minds to do dumb things ?????? :-?

They're probably not allowed to sell them, only allowed to destroy them or some stupid thing like that.
