Here's my little Oblong Turtle. He's grown a bit since i took the photo although he's just as cute. I got him about a year ago now. I've been using a "floating turtle dock" although now the water levels higher im not sure if he can get onto it to bask. I've never seen him on it since i've raised the water level so im a bit worried. Any suggestions would be great. Here's the pic: 
I dont know what this is doing here although i think its a turtle without a shell?

Inny, On that photo i had the gravel up to the dock and every time i used to enter the room he would climb onto the dock and look at me to see if i had food for him. But since i put the water level up he seems to just swim to the side of the tank im at. Maybe its because i have duckweed ontop of the water now?

Hey Jonathon, where did you get the turtle dock from mate. I've spent hours ringing and looking and cant find anyone here in WA or east who can help me out.
Cheers, Jim

Oblonga's aren't common in the eastern states so im not sure how much they would cost over there. Although i bought mine here in Perth for $250. So if you add the export fee onto that, thats how much you would be looking at paying. I think in Vic you can only buy turtles over 10cm (correct me if im wrong) unless you breed them yourself. You can get cheaper turtles in your area like Eastern Long Necks (Chelodina longicollis) and some short neck species.
Hope that helps
