Other Turtle Discussion :: aeryn fluttered at me!

[pumpkinsherbet]

i went to put food in the tank and aeryn swam up to the front and started fluttering at me! it was so cute!!!

john was hanging out just outside the hiding cave looking at me like ''and who are you?" still waiting for him to warm up to me :p

I think Aeryn has identity issues! She doesn't know she's a turtle! John's acting like a regular turtle.

she's been the more social one of the two. i remember when i first got them, john got all curious and explored while aeryn kept her head stuck safely in her shell. now aeryn's greeting me and nestling up to me while john spends most of his time in hiding. it's the funniest thing.

I have 2 turtles Maxey has always been more friendly than Shelley, who tolerates me because I handle them everyday from the beginning so that I could check them and be able to handle them without them flipping out. Maxey I call like an dog and she comes up to me whether in the tank or out she is very affectionate, she also likes to have her shell scratched like a dog. Maybe she has issues? Anyway I think its ok the john is reserved with you that just may be his way.
