Flo and Rio

Today Jaimie and I, being the great science teachers that we are, decided to get these little turtles for our classrooms. The lighter turtle, Rio, is a Rio Grande Red Ear Slider. The darker turtle, Flo, is a Florida red bellied turtle. The turtles will spend the weekdays at school and the weekends at home. The kids already love them. Alex was the only one a little weirded out about touching them and he quickly got over it. Jaimie bought 2 turtles also, one of them a more exotic brands. We are not sure that one is still alive. I bought the more "hearty" species that will do well with the young kids. We will update on sizes.
