Over Weight Asian Leaf

[Len B]

Last Sunday while I was doing a water change in their pond I decided to net them so I could check them out, They all looked fine except maybe a little over weight,-- but one was more over weight than the others--here are a couple pics, can you tell which one is going on a diet this winter when they come inside?

Shame on you! How dare you make fun of a female's weight. It's just water weight gain...you know...that monthly thing.

i have no idea what to tell you but i have to say the pics made me giggle(sorry) They look too chubby for thier little shells but i have no clue if that is diet worthy.

I'm just kidding about the diet, but I hope she has room for a few eggs when the time comes, I really like these guys, they are good into the 50's temp range and come from the mountain areas where the Manouria (my favorite) are found.

Are they able to hibernate outside? Why do you take them in?

They are not a hibernating turtle that i know of, never heard of anyone doing it. We can get into the single digit temps here for short periods of time during winter.

Are you sure it is fat and not bloated? Just wondering.
