Habitat - Indoor :: Need opinions on "head-sized" rock

[BullDog]

So I've collected some rocks for Frankie, and picked out my favs, but want an opinion on one:




I think the orange one is OK, it's the stripy one I'm wondering about. Of course, I don't want to risk it, but it's just a cool looking rock

Its kind of flat. It's certainly bigger than her mouth, but bigger than her head, hard to say.

That looks ok to me. & by the way...WOW her eyes are green! Sweet turtle!

I love the picture where she's contemplating if the rock is food ...

Although a little big, my turtle would probably try to eat the stripy rock, cuz he's still (or stupid?) like that.

I love the orange rock. I'd be nervous about the stripy rock. Have you seen when your turtle opens her mouth wide? It almost looks like the jaw comes unhinged. It gets huge. I think they can swallow large objects when they want to. Spot used to swallow a shrimp whole until it made me nervous that he would choke and I now cut the shrimp up into pieces for him.

[BullDog]

Yeah, she seemed more interested in the orange rock when I put them beside her
I think I'll just leave the stripy rock out. I was looking especially at the 2nd pic, and it does look small next to her mouth.

I picked up some really cool rocks, I'll post a pic of a few

I just picked up a bunch of rocks that caught my eye, from two different beaches, but in the same area. Then I scrubbed and boiled them, and picked out my favs, and 2nd favs.



The one on the right is probably my favourite... The pic doesn't do it much justice, but it's a composite rock with a bunch of different colour pebbles inside.

They are beautiful. They will look great in the tank. I wonder which one Frankie will love the best?

[scripta_elegans]

I think Frankie likes the orange rock. Wow those are cool! I'm glad that the stripey one won't be in there to tempt Frankie. I think she could swallow it.
