Well here's Timmmmmmy :D....... She said he was all over the tank soon as she put him in it. He didn't eat the first 2 days but now today she said he started eating well.

It is either a southern painted or a western painted, I can't remember which one. She originally ordered one and they didn't have it so she took the other and now I can't remember which is was. I think it is Western though.

Looks southern to me. They normally get the line down the back like that.

Southern has the line down the back, Westerns have a greenish shell (carapace) with lots of red underneath (plastron).

I'm really pleased with how much she is enjoying him as well as the way she is doing things the right way. I told her what you guys said about feeding him in a separate container, and she went out and bought him this little "critter carrier" so now she puts him in there to feed him.

That'll work for now. When it gets bigger she can just get a bigger one. If she feeds him and leaves him in there for an hour that should be good.
