We went to the australian reptile park yesterday and had a look at the turtles there. They had lots of long necks, though all of them were outside. It was interesting the amount of green algae that had grown on their shells, also a shame that I don't have a picture to show as well. The Murray Rivery turtles and the Saw Shelled turtles that were outside had reletively clean shells in comparison, makes me wonder if this is a testiment to how much time the long necks spend in the water compared with the other species as the Murrays and Sawshells were all out on land basking where as half the long necks were swimming.

This shot is of slow basking on the log first thing in the morning.
