The photo she showed me was that of a extremely common to get, red eared slider.
Haha. Oh my lord. We found our two turtles that way. In a chinese buffet place. We thought, oh, how sweet. A way to get a (tiny) pet so our kids can learn. I'm just glad both hubby and I won't just get a pet just to get one. We researched, and we got tanks to grow with their size right up to the point that bambi (my daughter called the male that, please don't ask me why) and started attacking Tama for refusing to, um, mate with her. We saw shell fragments as well. I had to give her to the herp society and I adored her- she was MY turtle and I was able to handle her. They have some pretty neat personalities. Bambi, lasted for a lot longer, but when our old place was sold, we had a month to leave. we had around a month where we had to do hotel hopping. So he also left to the same place. We suspect he's happily a'humping other turtles. |
