It's a boy!My new little buddy.
I named him Mitchell because he's slow and he eats a lot.

He's a cutie DL. My daughter thought he looked like a "speed turtle".

What's a "speed turtle"?

oooooooh, nice.
We have a tortoise but hes not nearly as brightly coloured. Is that a terrapin? If I'm wrong then its either a turtle or a tortoise but I dont think it looks like either of those so it must be a terrapin!

Yes, it's a terrapin. It's a Red Eared Slider which are pretty common in this area.
My grandfather in law works at a mental hospital and one of the patients had smuggled him in and gave it to him as a present. He brought it home and was planning on releasing it in a park that is about 2 blocks from our house. I told him not to because that can be lethal to them especially young ones.
I have friends who have one already but they didn't want another so I'm a daddy.

According to my daughter, it's a turtle who looks like he's built for speed. I would assume it's because of his low profile and "racing stripes"

I'd prefer a bearded dragon...less stink, more fun behaviors but I also can't resist a reptile in need.

Tortoises, turtles, and terrapins are all lovely creatures, second only to hamsters and trained war elephants in quality as a pet.

I disagree, machinegun carriage Crocagators are far superior pets and war critters!

Why not sharks with frikkin laser beams attached to their heads?
|
Thom
|
Cause sharks are limited to water!
