This
is my turtle Artichoke. He can be a tad grumpy, but I love him to
death. He doesn't do a whole lot compared to some kinds of pets, but I
love him the way he is. He enjoys hanging out in his tank, basking under
his basking lamp, eating Turtle Sticks and Shrimp Snacks, and the
occasional guppy, and snapping any fingers that get too close.
Occasionally he tries to escape the confines of his tank, but he never
succeeds. He tries to climb the tank walls, and ends up falling
backwards and splashing in the water - maybe he likes the splash? I
don't know.
The best thing about Artichoke is that he's so darn cute and he gets so
excited when its time to eat. When he sees me pull out the food, he puts
his face against the glass and swims and swims. One of these days I'm
going to build him an even bigger turtle paradise where he can frolic
and play and eat all day long. He is very cute and very special to me.
