Post Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:17 pm   Cheers from a french turtle :)

Hello

i'm new here , and i have registered to show you some pics of my loved turtle .
Excuse my english mistakes , but i'm from Paris ;) and E.T (lol) too

I have it since i'm 5 , and i'm 18 now !
So she (? i think it's a girl , you 'll tell me !) is about 12/13 years old :D

She is very clever and very very nice . She has never bitten anyone . Moreover , she is very tamed : i cherish her very often and she likes it !

Her environment : In winter and cold times , we take her in our flat , so the temperature is nice (~20 / 25°C) and she can walk everywhere on the floor (she has two places liked : under the heating and a cupboard.
When the sun lights on , she goes out from there and get a sunbath !
When she is hungry , she goes to the kitchen and we put them into a little tank . Then she is feeded :) . When she is bored of the water (agitating or looking at us more and more) we put them onto the floor 8)

In Summer and hot times : We put her in the garden ! we have a tiny private garden so she can walk everyhere on the grass . she is very happy when she get there . Moreover , we had a little basin of water (renewed with fresh water each day) in the garden . So when she wants , she goes there :) . Sometimes a friend gives us his turtle during vacations so she is with her little friend Max . (but at the contrary of E.T. , he is agressive but i'm educating him , its working :) )

So , here are one pic , i will take new shots soon if you are interested !

See ya .

Greetings from the USA! I do believe you are the first member from France that I've seen on here. Do many people in France have RES? How did you get yours?

Does your turtle lay eggs?

And yes, we'd love to see more pictures of E.T. and the new guy and your setup!

I don't remember learning too much in the way of animals. We stuck to food, feelings, and body parts. Then came the words we weren't supposed to know, lol. Thanks ketamine!

Theses turtles are named "Tortues de Floride" in France (Florida Turtles) because they were imported massively during the 80s and 90s from USA.
Many are now in the wilds causing some problems . :roll:


Thanks for my english , i'm studying it for 6 years and i went to USA many times (california , NYC ..)
Nice to see that you are learning french at school , but i think it will not be very usefull lol . (Turtle = Tortue yes)

The french isn't very useful, neither was the latin that I took. I guess it all depends on what you are doing with your life. I managed to get 8 free college credits with my high school french by testing out at the college level. The latin encouraged me to sign up for a word origins class which about killed me. The latin also helped me with my french because it gave me a better understanding of how languages work.

Anyway, love your new pics!

Bonjour & welcome! Turtle looks very happy & your English is great! It's nice to see another turtle owner with a "big baby" like mine! How long is your turtle (shell-size)? My RES's shell is 11 inches long & I have had her for 17 yrs.....!
