Hi, those are not PNTs, they are soft shell turtles. Very aggressive turtles too

I have relatives that saw my PNTs and insist/argued that they are the same turtles used for soup. I explained/argued till i give up on those people.

It's not easy to tell the difference for most people but it's very easy to tell the difference for those who know.

I have a pair that are 10 years old in my pond, about 40cm head to tail. Is there any more possible growth ?
I know one's a male as it gave me a shock about 2 years back when it kinda became a eunuch after it had to have its ***** cut off due to it kinda rotting after sticking out of its tail. Forgot the term the doctors called it. I would grab a picture soon to share of the pair. They weight about 9.7kg Female, 9kg Male.
i think you are refering to "penile prolapse"...
