I thoroughly enjoyed these pictures @papa-pepper . Reminds me of my daughter's pet baby turtles. She had 2, we called them "the twins." We bought them at a sidewalk sale in Downtown LA. They were so adorable and we loved them so much!

Cool! Last time I saw little ones for sale was at a flea market in south Texas.
Yeah, you actually can't buy them at regular pet shops. They might not be allowed to sell them. But, they were so darn cute, we couldn't resist. A little 10 year old girl begging, "please...please!" is a powerful thing. Downtown LA has things for sale on the sidewalks that you won't find other places, lol.
Technically, turtles under 4" in shell length can carry salmonella so stores can't sell them.
Yes, hence the hand washing orders and bottle of disinfecting gel we had next to the tank. Thankfully, everyone stayed healthy. Well, except the turtles. They passed on after about 4 months. My daughter cried. I even shed a tear. They were so adorable.
