Watching a turtle is way more fun than it may seem. For one thing, not all turtle go really slow. Ours was more energetic, I guess. First it went swimming and swam around for a while. While it was underwater, it had this protective coat over its eyes, and it was just so cool. He also had this yellow streak near his eye. I think he was a Brazilian turtle. Anyways, I fed him a turtle pellet, and he just came right over and started eating, er...nibling it. His mouth looked somewhat sharp, and so were his claws. Then he would just sit motionless on the rocks while basking under the lamp. I wish I could do that, just sit outside for a day, and bask in the sun. But know, the heat is good for the turtle, while the sun would just give me sun burns. My brother is STILL thinking of a name for his turtle, but if he doesn't think of one soon, I'm just going to go ahead and call it "turtle".
