This is my pet turtle that I found just after hatching 21 years ago. The tank is an 80 gal. that needs to be larger. We took this shot shortly after a 6 hour tank cleaning. No, he does not fly....but he sings! Just kidding, we named him "Julio Peabrains Iglasius" because Julio Iglacius was hot then and I used to have a turtle named Peabrains when I was younger. I will have to try some different things with him though!

Thanks for the comments!

This is a lovely pic colour wise however the turtle is actually in the center. I think that if you can get the turtle with just the green background and also swimming into the shot rather than in the center it would be a fantastic pic. I would also try for more lighting into the tank to get rid of the border shadows and also what seems to be the side of the tank. That way you can trick people into thinking you took the pic in the wild. Just my thoughts ;o)

Is this a rare flying turtle?
