Four 3-striped mud turtles enjoying the good life

This video features all four of our 3-striped mud turtles, Muddy, Esther, Fern, and Romeo, the only male. Muddy has been with us since she was rescued off the street as a hatchling 7 years ago. Esther was rescued off the street as an adult last year after nearly being run over by a car. We placed her in the tank intending to release her in a safer location later. She seemed so happy in the tank that we kept her. Fern was hit by a car last year and rescued by our vet. He gave her to me to rehab. Fern's head and jaw were badly fractured. She has permanent injuries and can never be released. Romeo came from behind our house 3 1/2 years ago. I kept him because the rear of his shell was badly chewed away by preadators. He is the only male in the tank and certainly is living the good life. Romeo mated with Muddy within 20 minutes of being added to our tank. Guess he is happy.
