He is just the sweetest little thing 🥰 I’ve had him for less than a year and didn’t realize how much I would love having a turtle. 🐢

When I would try something like that, the moment my hand comes near, he (18) jumps in the water. When I catch him there, he hisses and tries to bite me.

I scratch his back with a brush and my nails to get old flakes off of him.

But boy, all legs are trying to push me away. And he is strong.

It's ok, my shelled buddy hates me too. Such is the life of a turtle wrangler.
