the other day turtle was basking and i said "quack turtle quack" and turtle did.....then i tried to record it and found out that mr, turtle is not a gemini like i once thought, but a stubborn taurus who will not quack on demand.....(curses, foiled again....here i had hopes of going viral on youtube with "the amazing quacking turtle"....(haha!!)
i wonder if it is just being vocal back to me....(if you haven't figured it out by now, i might be about 1.5 to 2 standard deviations outside of the bell curve (keep in mind that serial killers are generally FIVE deviations from "normal"....whew!! i am ok.... : )
but i sing this song to him and i coo at him and i constantly interact with him and when i wake up in the morning, i immediately say "mr. turtle" and love to see his head just pop up instantaneously and it starts all over again.....when i sing to him, its funny....it is almost like he is mimicking me or trying to sing or something because his throat kind of pulses like a beat and it enlarges, then goes back to normal, then enlarges and goes back to normal.....i am facinated with this .... i knew they were rumoured to be interactive, but i never pictured it would be like this.....
does anyone else sing to their turttles? do they react? let me know....thanks!!
