Seen this guy on craigslist today and convinced my girlfriend to buy it for me as a birthday present (shes the best). Poor guy was kept in a ten gallon tank with no heater, no basking lamp, and no way to get out of the water. I don't want to know how long hes been kept like that. I'm pretty sure hes a Pelusios castaneus, West African Brown Mud:
And here is his temporary quarantine enclosure, until I can get his 40 gallon set up:
I am very happy to have him with us and I think hes happy to be warm. I'm still doing my research. Anyone ever keep sidenecks? Have any good caresheets. Hope you enjoy the pics I just wanted to share my new buddy.
