Let me give you the little story leading up to the pic :P .

I was practicing my Cello at first, and I usually do it by Sora's tank, as that spot in my house has the best acoustics. Anyway, I packed that away, since she was sleeping :roll: and I pulled out my Viola about an hour later, after I had taken Sora out for her walk. I brought her back inside(after an hour or so) and let her wander about and continued to play. Remarkably, she came right up to my foot and kinda flopped out over it [wish I had taken a pic, but I need both hands to play and no one else was home :? ]. I put my Viola down on my mom's entry rug and Sora practically pounced on it :lol: . I took this pic, before she attacked my Viola lol. I think she's trying to take after me :P .

Note: That white spot has gotten a lot better in the past few weeks. I got really concerned after reading Spotsmama's thread on: "how to cure a turtle's shell". It used to cover her whole scute, until I realized her filter wasn't working properly and was allowing bacteria back into the water, and got a new one :D . Lots of scrubbing and washing for her, the vet said it wasn't badly infected, but would've been had I not changed filters. She's going on walks more frequently, because the sun is the best source of UV rays and will help her recover faster(we don't have "Terrapin Specific" medicine,like the sulfadizine(correct spelling?), only for Sea Turtles or Tortoises).[She's shedded about twice already, though not fully.]

My turtle likes it when I talk to her, and I can usually talk her down from being a freak of nature, when I'm brushing her shell. Your music must have the same effect. :) What a lucky turtle to get a private strings concert!
