Since we have a backyard we would take them outside and they would go for walks in the grass and sleep under the sun and stretch their adorable legs out and just plank. So we would keep their tank in the backyard and covered their tank with a mesh thingy while we worked on getting them a good habitat inside the house. One morning we woke up to find the turtle food can empty and the tanks covering was on the floor. We realized that one turtle was missing...and it turned out the raccoon took my baby.
After that day we took them inside and we were astonished that an animal could have taken our turtle.
Now everyone loves the turtles. My dad will sometimes make some bad jokes about our turtles and everyone will jump on him and attack him. My mom who never liked reptiles now has taken a good liking towards the turtles. Our nickname for them are tortolas, i love my Pancrazia and Toribia.
Pancrazia is the biggest one and Toribia is medium sized, Pancrazia has the tendency of peeing on you if they dont like you or they are annoyed. Toribia will get under a blanket and falls asleep covered by a blanket, and loves to pose for pictures. Pancrazia doesn't like to be held for too long. Toribia on the other hand enjoys to be held and talked to, she loves to just stare at you.
The cutest thing is when my mom opens the door and tells them to go outside, they'll RUN to the door and climb outside. (Oh yea Toribia LOVES climbing...i call her Spider-Woman because she'll try to climb walls.Turtles these days!) Then when they've gone around for a walk she'll open the door and tell them to go inside and they'll go inside.
Never thought turtles could be so smart but they are!
Now i can say that I have found joy to my life...i have found meaning to my life. I love my turtles and idk what i would do without them.
CUTE!!!
