My turtle Sheldon is reaching maturity, at least I think he is :D

Came home from work a few days ago and he got really, REALLY, excited to see me! :shock: I had never seen his man parts before, it was surprising! And very strange looking! lol

Anyhow, shortly after that happened he began ferociously fluttering at his own reflection (I think) every night. I think when I turn off the lights in the room he must get a better reflective view of himself... and he apparently likes himself a lot! I have never seen him flutter so aggressively, pretty funny! :lol:

It is so relaxing to come home every day and watch the aquarium for and hour or so to unwind... my husband thinks I am insane. Plop down on a stool with a glass of wine and watch my own personal water-world soap opera, doesn't get any better than that!

Sorry for rambling! :mrgreen:

Ha! My male RES rarely puts it out there, he's pretty shy about it :)

My Squirt went through a phase where he was very proud of himself as well haha. Everytime I'd get close to the tank he'd be fanning. And also when I would brush his shell haha. It would fluster me and my fiance thought it was hilarious. :) He must have gotten it out of his system though, because he rarely does it anymore.

I do this as well, except for the wine. After I shower I stare at my tank for several minutes, and before I go to sleep as well. It relaxes me a lot.

Get him a turtle ornament so he can get his freaky freaky on. I would also remove any fish that may be in the tank so that no one loses an eye.

:D :D
