...And a partridge in a pear tree! This past weekend we decided, after a little bit of research and Allen being at a pharmacy with some, we bought turtles. They have been lots of fun to watch and feed. They are red eared sliders, native to Oklahoma. They are finally getting used to their surroundings and have a little bit of a routine. They are frisky in the late afternoon/early evening and at night, right after we turn out their light. They like to swim around and bob up and down to the top then to the bottom. We originally got a smaller tank and realized quickly that they needed more swimming room, so we ended up with a 36 gallon bow-front tank. They have a little basking area and a hiding place underneath it. Turtles are such skiddish creatures. They go hide very quickly. Whoever said turtles are slow didn't see one who was scared!
And their names, you ask? Cuff and Link. Now, who can name what movie that is from? I sure couldn't at first, but my husband could. They are the names of Rocky's turtles! He bought them from Adrian at the pet store, "You know, Cuff and Link!" (imagine Philly accent). Here are the boys:
