Gordo,You got that right!! Hes a winner! Very nice job on him! I have a Mississippi painted turtle,I picked up on the road in Ms.in 1994 ,there was several of them crossing the road and cars was just running over them. My turtle's name is Albert and when I moved I would always carry him in a tin coffee can,course untill I could put him in his larger aguarium and nights he loves shooting marbles,clanging them on the glass. Hes such a kool dude! My wifes cats sits by him at times and I can read the cats thoughts?? Dad will you please make Albert stop clanging thoses dang marbles!!

Once again such a excellent job on your turtle. Forrest
