Rescued a turtle from a degenerate kid who didn't do shit to take care of it.
Its a yellow bellied slider, about a year old. Unsure of its sex.
Dubs decides what I name the little fucker. Make it good, I'm gonna have this bitch for 20 to 30 years if all goes well.
Pebble
Also, story? OP stole a turtle basically
Winrar? dubs demand the story!
I guess his name is Pebble.
Basically was helping a coworker move out of their place cuz I'm fuckin nice. Noticed aquarium with shit water, noticed turtle in water.
When I asked what was with the shitty tank with algae everywhere, she said it belonged to her nephew who abandoned it.
She was just going to leave it behind for the apartment maintenance folks to take care of it. So I said fuck it, I like turtles I'll take it.
>Rescued a turtle from a degenerate kid
But you still have it?!
Clutched it with trips and a not very creative and unoffensive name.
So you've made a 20-30y commitment just like that? sweet
Putting it in that aspect,turtle guy is probably my a genuinely good dude. Wouldbefriend/10
Yeah, I had been thinking about getting a snake. So when this came up I figured well, time to become a pet owner.
Pebble it is. Also, I said dubs not trips.
The turtle will be named after my sick fucking dubs, whatever the numbers are.
Well. That resolved pleasantly.
make sure he gets enough calcium, their shell can get really fucked without it
also, depending on what size he is, it's best to get a single tank that will suit him when he's fully grown (assuming he's not already)
Looks female by the roundness of it's head.
Also if it's claws and tail are short it's female.
I read a bunch about it. I've got the uvb and heat lamp turtle lights.
I have a 55 gallon tank downstairs that I'm going to transfer it to when I get my canister filter I ordered.
Also gonna make Pebble one of those badass PVC basking platforms. Might get some nice large stones for the bottom of the tank.
Agreed.
OP, take good care of Peeble !
Have fun with your new buddy op.
i like turtles too, best luck with your new friend op

This is now a general turtle thread
Everyone say hello to pebble
Greennie is a cute name. I think.
Well it's not a turtle. It's a terrapin. Fucking dumb ass see a shell assumption mutha fuckers
That's a genuinely good name. Very cute.
If I get a turtle, I'm totally naming it pebble. Adorable.
The turtles were the only thing that stayed with Rocky all those years.
