Hi guys, heres my turt. He still has no name after all this time. All I can say is he is a big HOG! Such a pig when it comes to food.

After finishing all his food, he comes up to me and begs for more...

Full turtle...

His normal float-ambush position.

I think he's scared of the phone. Haha.

What do you guys think about him? He grew a lot since the last time I posted anything. He is now 2.5" and I am now looking for a bigger home for him.

He looks like a nice healthy turtle. :D You should name him porco(Portuguese for pig or hog :lol: ) or cerdo(Spanish for pig or hog :lol: ).

You could call him/her Babe for the pig in the movie.

I think he'll remain nameless for the time being. I will give him a name when he reaches around 4.5" so I know if "he" is male or female. Haha. I just call him turt and pig for now. He responds to turt and gives me a curious look when I call him pig.

Yeah. Its all because of the bigger space he has and food. Plus, he is located outdoors where the he can bask in the sun when he wants to. I guess he just likes his living conditions.

Although I will move him in a week or two to a bigger place to make room for maybe another turt. The other turt is the maybe, but I will defiitely get him one of those big containers so he can really enjoy himself.
