My turtle is a dork!

I caught this picture of him today haha you can barley see him just his little head is sticking out. his name is leonardo the ohter two are the females zoey and LuLu this is my other hobby I suppose! haha

 

Very cute, he looks like ET.

What type of turtle specifically please?

Great pets, thanks for sharing.

 

Great shot, very cute

 

haha hey! he kinda does haha, I couldn't find marty... he is the other male, all four of them are eastern box turtles, I have two males and two females, I have had them for three years this is the fourth I am hoping they will lay eggs, I have seen them mate plenty of times just waiting for the female to lay ! I know its rare for them to breed in captivity but we have had it happen before. Sadly the baby died after ten years or so

 

Do they hibernate in the winter for you?

Baby turtles are the cutest things in the world IMO.

 

They do! indeed. I love it, this is the first year marty came out on his own I usually have to dig him up every spring!

They are outside they have a huge area thats fenced in on the side of my house. Every year they come out about may ish. I really wish I had some pictures of the baby he was the size of a quarter when it hatched two out of the 8 eggs hatched.. we smothered the rest because we didn't know what to do with them :/ so my dad put them in dirt but it smothers them they need like vermiculite to breath, two hatched one died a couple months after and then the other baby we had for a good ten or more years.. they are soooo cute im really hoping that they will lay one of these years!
