Hi everyone! Hope everyone's been ok....
A quick update for those who have read my last thread and now this one... Biggie and Little Houdini have finally stopped the fighting and biting matches. Yeah every now and then I'll catch them staring each other down, and sometimes the claw fluttering happens but they have not tangled it up with each other anymore! Of course I am very happy about this..
But I'm starting to notice a habit I hadn't noticed before... I've noticed that each have taken to sniffing the other out! It's such a funny thing.. to watch, either Biggie or Little Houdini will pop out of nowhere and slide his face under the others shell and sniffs him or they'll come around the backside and sniff, can't tell if it's the other's tail their sniffing or what but it's so strange!!
Does anyone out there have any idea why they're doing this? Is this something custom for turtles? As far as I knew dogs sniffed out a potential friend.. would a turtle act the same way? If anything more is needed in regards to my guys they are RES Turtles, Biggie is 4" and Little Houdini is 3 1/2"... Thanks for any advise! or Idea's we appreciate it!!!
