My Turtle Myrtle

[tattooed81]

I love turtles , dose anyone else have a pet turtle¿ 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 have two, a Terrepene carolina bauri and an Apalone ferox.

what a cutie!
they don't sell turtles like that in Australia.
only those long necks or a different type that
needs a category four or five license.

myrtle the turtle is very sweet

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

[Kurt]

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.

She must be special she dose know that I feed her but she seems to like to be picked up she loves when I take her outside and lay back she will walk right to my chest and bask in the sun
