  2. 1.)  Five.

    2.)  I presently own 4 Eastern Painted, and 1 Eastern Map.  I have, in the past, owned Fla. soft shells (my favorite); assorted snappers; Matta Matta; Red Ear Sliders (bred most of these species); Stink Pots; goodness...I can't recall them all.  I think that's all the water.  I've owned 3 toed; Eastern/Western box turtles (bred these); Red Leg Tortoise; Leopard Tortoise...  I've had a few species as pets, over the years (mostly taken in ill, or as rescues).

    3.)  One Eastern Painted and the Map are exactly 1 yr. old.  They are rescues from last year, and doing quite well.  The other 3 Easter Painted range from 1-3 yr. of age (one of those is also a rescue, age 2 1/2 yr. [missing a front leg] which we have adopted).

    4.)  The Map is by far the largest, and is approx. 5" across x 8-8 1/2" long.  He has a fabulous appetite.  lol  The female Eastern the same age is 1/2 his size.  The other Eastern Painteds range from 5" to 8" long.

    5.)  The 1 yr. Painted is called Anna, after the lake she came from.  The Map is called Duflunkis (don't ask!).  The Painted missing the front leg is called either Lefty, or Gimp, depending on who is feeding him.  lol  The other two Eastern Painteds are not named.  Now that they are fully recovered and have regained good body weight/mass; they will be released into the lake soon.

    My 'zoo' includes a variety of snakes (my favorite is my Dumerils Boa [he's a 5 1/2 yr. old male in his prime], but the Kingsnakes run a close 2nd up) & lizards (Leopard geckos are SO adorable, though the other geckos are cute); a parrot who thinks she's the 'Queen Bee" (I raised her from an egg); four rescued feral manx cats; and one rescued Lab mix dog.

    May I ask the point of the "open question"?
