The story of too many turtles...

About a year and a half ago a girl asks if i want a turtle, she says he's easy to care for, dosn't smell, eats fruit and veggies and bug, and during the summer can live outside until mid fall. I love animals, and i don't have any reptiles so i figured why not. Much convincing of my parents later and a 5-6 inch...

I have the cutest pet turtle and her name is Shelly, I dont know what kind of turtle she is.
Her story is that a friend found 6 of them in her backyard and I asked her for one and she gave it to me. She had painted its shell, right above its tail, with a pink nailpolish to be able to tell she's a girl but it broke my heart and I ended up taking the...

Something is wrong with my peninsula cooter

Posted by biechyh in biechyh's Blog, 26 February 2012 - - - - - - · 10 views

I have had my peninsula cooter for over a year now and yesterday I noticed that he had his head turned to the one side and barely moved it from that side. I thought maybe one of my cats had scratched him or something but I didn't see any scratches or anything on him at all. I separated him from my other two turtles and his neck seemed to go back to...

Day after the next round of Alabama tornadoes.  We did not get hit but we all did wake up wondering just what was blowing through the yard.

And the public tornado alarms in our area didn't go off again.  Again.

Frankie was outside spending the night in his hut.  He slept through it.

As a testament to what it takes make a tornado possible, the next...

My mommy had to vacuum (whatever that is) the living room today and the thingy she used to do that growls and it's scary [:(] I ran away from it. I hope she doesn't have to do that again any time soon.

I'm hoping SOMEONE can help me with this. I have a juvenile box turtle. She was given to me by a friend. This is my first winter with her and I've noticed she hasn't been eating for 2 1/2 weeks. Since she is so small she usually eats live prey. I live in PA and it gets cold here...but i think she is too small to hibernate her. I'm hoping...
