'Picassa'
I rescued her from a "Let's take this turtle out of the wild and NOT give it the things it needs."-situation.
She was rough when I got her. Barely active, and not behaving like a turtle.
Now, is completely tame, will fall asleep in my hand, super active, basks and swims like a turtle and shedding those old scutes and growing like there's no tomorrow. (But still has much recovery left, we have only had her a couple months)
It was timed well... Our family cat passed away JUST as my parents left for Florida. Needless to say, my "alone" time was feeling VERY alone.
It's quite possible this turtle saved my (momentary) sanity!
(This is her in her first tank that we made...)
