phoenix44 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah. Wasn't sure about the ID but when I first saw it I was a little taken aback. Being housed by knowledgeable people now. It has very long nails. like very long. creepy like and all haywire. Legs don't look particularly happy either, but now it looks much happier than when I first saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repto Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 its both,yanks call them turtles and they can swim.but they don`t have webbed feet and go on land rather than water burrowing into leaf litter etc to find humidity,There is a desert dwelling member of the same family.

WTM Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Damn those eyes... Talk about expressive... I hope now it's being cared for by someone more clued up, it'll get a pedicure in the near future. Can't believe someone would have access to something so rare here, that they would be that inexperienced to make such simple mistakes* * admittedly making some assumptions here.

phoenix44 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I know! It is so cute! Followed me around as I walked past it repeatedly. Then it moved its head as I moved mine, so I sat there like a 'tard bobbing my head up and down :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
