Since Reeve's turtle's extinction came to rise several years ago, the Korean Environmental Department officially has announced Reeve's turtle the Commemorative Natural Species No.453.
The Seoul Grand Park started a little project to breed Reeve's turtles up back to the nature.
Some Korean people who own Reeve's Turtle started donating theirs to participate in this campaign.
When I donated my adult females, the zoo has then obtained 18females & 5males.
This is the biggest male Reeve's I've ever seen.
It always made me angry that it was Korean people who had been leaving Reeve's turtles almost extinct.
Several years ago, Red-eared Slider population was increased to the extent where every Korean ponds and rivers were occupied by the Red-Eared Sliders.
Since then, this nation has gone on the campaign to get rid of the Red-Eared Sliders from Korean nature.
I don't think it was Red-eared Slider's fault to cause imbalance in the Korean environment but Korean people's who had been importing too many Red-eared Slider and throwing away them to ponds and rivers for so many years.
They simply made issue of endangered Reeve's Turtles' along with it.
It was really stupid, I think.
Because they weren't caring about Reeve's Turtles before, all of sudden, now that Red-Eared Sliders became an environmental issue, they care about Reeve's Turtles.
Both Reeve's Turtle and Red-eared Sliders are the victims of Korean society after all.
"Too close, Larry, Please get off little bit."
"Oh, Larry, you look like you're caring for other models."
"Oh, Larry, you look like a professional."
"Yo, move over I've got to be in the middle of the frame." 
Larry's eyes are glittering as if to say "I'm sending this one to a match-maker."
They're young & active.
I took pictures through the glass that pictures aren't clear.
Larry tried to get on the frame.
I came across him in a local freshwater fishes market.
It is not easy to find a male that big.
He hardly swims around but basks most of the time.
I donated him to Seoul Grand Park.
One day, I saw him in "Reptile Land" several blocks away from my home.
He's very territorial to other males.
Usually males are smaller than females
As you see, the biggest one is female naturally. 
These big males must be very old.
She is definitely the queen in the middle.

She was the first one who came to me in 2001 since I had a male Reeve's in mid-80's when I was elementary student.
She was the second kid for me.
She was very shy.
She was the smallest back then.
I put them together.
Earvin climbs on Marisa to make claim to Larry "She is my girl.". 
They go head-to-head over Heather, too.
Larry really loves playing on Camera.
Well. Larry & Earvin getting along very well.
They dance together.
They are two mega-stars of my turtle family.
"Is he spraying foods for us?"
Yahoo~ Craze of splashing around~
Larry hitting on Heather while others are in a frenzy.
I made Larry watch a Larry Bird game on tape.
"If you are bred by me, you have got to be an NBA fan like me"
Larry seems to be in awe.
Scottie(left) & Dennis(right) are baby males.

Scottie(right) has slim carapace meanwhile Dennis has little rounded and bulging carapace.
