She always goes crazy when I show her the food sticks box

boy does that look familar, I think it will to anyone who has a turtle

just curious, what size tank is that and is that your basking area? I noticed your turtle can't get completely out of the water to dry off..

I checked out a few of the other "related" videos.. and I hope that person who has the "mating" video realizes they have 2 turtles of the same sex and more than likely that's a territorial thing than a mating dance.. :lol:

Yeah it's all temporary, cheap homemade basking area and stuff

She's pretty comfy though... But I'm getting a much larger tank next weak with a huge basking area.

Hahaha nice video! I love it when they beg for food and start splashing water.

I'm glad the poor girl got rewarded for all her efforts.

That's an interesting plastron---is half of it black (or is it the lighting?)? Or, could the basking area have something to do with it?

She's a hefty girl. I'm looking forward to a shot of her home with more permanent objects in it.

I ducttaped a part of a black T-shirt there so she could hide.
I read that they liked to hide

Very cute, i actually stoped talking on the phone and started laughing when he was slapping his hands! I liked the vid.

Karlyn recognizes her specific food containers too...When I put a can of coke up to the glass, she does nothing. When I show her her food, she goes nuts and goes right to the corner..

My RES is always going splash on me whether I feed him or not. It's funny.

Tanner does that too. But now, he's started to jump up and splash down - it's almost like a body-slam in water. :lol:

our guys do that too, upon seeing food, or sometimes just the sight or sound of one of us approaching the tank, if it's hungry time. excellent communication skills, really.

they have us pretty well-trained, and it didn't take long at all. clever little guys, that's for sure.
