aww
oh my god! that little turtle is so cute! i found one about that size when i was in high school and kept him as a pet. my boyfriend ran over him with a lawnmower, he wasn't hurt but my bf noticed this little rock looking thing with legs shoot out from under the lawnmower. he took it in the house and called me, and i went over to see him. he was so cute, i had to keep him!
i was afraid to let him around the cats, thinking he'd bite and latch on to them. he ended up getting a tumor in his eye a couple years later. there were no reptile vets in my town, so all i had to treat it with was over the counter eye drops from the pet store. i was so sad when he died, i felt so helpless. he did so many cute things, i never thought turtles could be so interesting! he would bob his head when i played music, and he liked to climb up my clothes and sleep in my hair. i've wanted to get another one ever since, but i can't find a pet store that sells the little baby ones
