Brought Bowser home today

[tortuga_mel]

I put them in a bath together while I prepared their tank. Like I said, they've met before but in a different place and outdoors. Michelangelo seemed very interested in the fact that Bowser was there. He was in his face the whole time.

In this last one they were setting face to face until I walked in and startled them.

Sorry I didn't get more photos. I wanted them to get used to eachother before I tried to mess with them a lot. Hopefully it'll be warm and not rainy tomorrow so I can take them outside.

They seem okay with each other in the tank so far. Bowser likes being up on the hide-logs and Michelangelo prefers being inside of them so it works out in the end

They are beautiful....and uh, I would keep and eye on them to make sure that what you state as them recalling one another and being very interested is not quickly turned to bullying....that one is really intensely in the face of the other in the pics.....the body placement in each pic shows blocking and intense eye contact and head placement......just from what I can see in still photos anyway....

Thanks Michelangelo is the smaller one who is staring intensly. I've been keeping a close eye on them to make sure that's not what it is, because if it is Bowser is going to go be a nursing home pet. Lol. There's an old man there that thinks he is amazing and my aunt(who i got Bowser from) told him she'd set a tank up there if things don't work out here. Only time will tell.

Thanks you I hope it works out because I really like Bowser a lot. Hopefully when I get a place of my own there will be a nice backyard to build an outdoor enclosure in. They seem to do really well with each other when they're outside.

It's very nice out today so I took the torts out to enjoy the sun and munch on some grass

Bowser is stretching his neck out to see over the untamed grass:

Boswer again, he really likes the tall grass/weeds:

Bowser. I love the little paths he leaves behind in the grass:

Michelangelo doesn't move around as much, he enjoys grass that is easy to obtain:

Michelangelo stopped to soak up some more some before heading inside. (Bella sniffing Michelangelo)

I decided to give them another bath because someone, Michelangelo, found some dog poop

Michelangelo always walks under the running water:

I took a video of the two of them. I don't know what I should take of this. Here's a link to the video: http://youtu.be/mkk-KGXYJt8
