I was looking through this thread again, and it struck me how perfectly terryo's photos illustrate her tortoise's and turtles' personalities. Every time she talks about Pio, I just want to give him a hug. How captivating they all are! Keep those photo essays coming, Terry! :D

Aww...thanks Stephanie. Today everyone had mushrooms...one of Pio's favorites. He ate three.

Uh Oh.....why is three mushrooms too much? My son said he is a fat pig, so now I'm worried. Tomorrow I have to stop procrastinating and get a scale.

Depend on how you define personality. To me, personality means any set of traits or characteristics and differentiate one animal from another. We all know none of our pets act exactly alike. Under this definition and logic, I'll have to argue that they do have personalities. The only way you can argue that an animal doesn't is if the whole species act in exactly the same way with no variance or deviations.

They are just the white one's that you buy in the grocery store. Sometimes if I have extra money I'll buy a bag of the wild one's, but they're really expensive.
