We
have had Painter ever since he was born. He's a very special turtle,
because he (and now Pebble) used to be wild. He's also a very cool little guy
:). When my younger brother first found him, he was floating around in a
fairly small pond, by a lake called Bluegill Lake. He was, at the time, as
small as quarter, but now he is a big, strong, and happy turtle. Painter also
has his own way of letting us know when he's hungry. He'll swim furiously
against the glass of his tank, and when we give him his food, he'll tear it
to shreds, lol. He also loves getting new things. One time, when we got him a
new tank, he was very excited. My brother loves taking care of turtles, so I
think he has a good home!
We just took on another little painted turtle, whom we named Pebble. He's an
extremely cute and lovable turtle hatchling, and we are happy to have him. My
brother (the one who also found Painter) found him while we were at my
softball game, and almost stepped on him. When he found him, a fairly large
crowd gathered to look at him while my brother asked for a cup and a little
water at the concession stand. Now he seems happy, healthy and we hope he
turns into a big, strong, happy turtle like his older "brother", Painter!
