Kept together.
In a dry tank with a brownie pan of water.
SO MUCH CRAB POOP.
A friend messaged over an FB post this morning and we had them by 5:30! Yay for supportive husbands that don't ask questions.
Got a cracked, dirty 20, a lid, a stand and the critters for $40 so it was an affordable rescue for a change. Everything is drenched in cigarette smoke though so just the animals came inside for now. She said they were her son's but she ended up with them and didn't want to take them when she moved.
Also got inspected by the Ohio Division of Wildlife today. I applied for my permits so we could keep our toads, frog and milksnake sans step-daughter. Was not told they do in-person visits! I am just thankful I was expecting my husband and one of his co-workers at the time and was decent enough for company. It was like, "waitaminute, you aren't here for the keys are you?" I probably scared him!
And this way I am legal for the turtles, too. So the hermits are in the bin with my smaller guys. They are a lot smaller than my smallest though. Green shell guy came home in a painted shell and changed before I got pictures. I am sure they need a safe molt and humidity and food.
The male and female painteds are in a 55 gallon with a canister filter. Their tank will hopefully be finished tomorrow night if the stuff from Chewy arrives as quick as it usually does. Little turtles, possibly stunted by diet and conditions but otherwise looking good. She said they were several years old.
Had to sort of tear my critter room apart for them, my only large waterproof tank had my kingsnake Stanley in it, so we had to swap 55s around and then get the aquarium stand out of storage since the racks can't hold the weight. It's still a disaster up there. So thankful the wildlife officer stopped when it was perfectly clean and organized!

They're Purple Pinchers, correct?
