So, really the turtle's name was all a lie. He's actually named Toka. I think it fits him better anyway.
and here he is climbing on his smirnoff box "hide-away". Petsmart doesn't have any hide-aways big enough for him. ):
these particular turtles are meant to live outside(like outdoor enclosures), well, we live in an apartment, so that isn't happening. but we have a better solution. instead of keeping him in a typipcal glass aquarium we are keeping him in a bigger rubbermaid tote and when one of us his home, we drag him outside.
the cats are up to something, i'm not sure what but i'm about to find out..
