|  My Turtle Myrtle
I love turtles , dose anyone else have a pet turtleż If not you should defiantly get one. They show affection and recognize there owners. Mine will even fall asleep wile I`m holding her , she will sit on my chest and fall asleep. If anyone has a pet turtle please share. And if you are thinking of getting one think adoption first always and choose the right pet turtle for you. |

I'm taking care of my little cousin's RES, and like her, but I can't say that she show's much in the line of affection. She hisses, snaps at my fingers, and is just filled with seething hatred toward me. She definitely recognizes that I provide food, but I think that she also thinks my fingers are food too. But with all of this attitude, I think I'd miss her alot if I didn't get to be around her. I love her cranky-ness | |

I agree with Billy. I have never known a single reptile or amphibian to show affection. I have noticed that a lot of reptiles and some amphibians are able to figure out where the food comes from and react when the see their handler.

I wish Elizabeth wouldn't try to remove any of mine . She's about 5 inches shell length right now, but I'll have to watch her when she gets alot bigger  | |

We have 2 eastern painted turtles. both wild caught(rescued).
The older one is 6 years old, we have had her since she was a hatch ling. We found her missing her left rear foot and half of her tail.
Our yearling was found as a hatch ling half dried out in a parking lot.
Both now live happily in a 125 gallon tank in our bedroom.
I will get some pics of the tank and turtles up soon.
I think what your turtle is doing is feeling safe, that can double as affection. | |
