Back again lol
With more photos of our little Ibera Greek hatchling Squirtle, as always
We've had him now for a little over a month, now. He's about 3 to 4 months of age.
Now either I'm crazy & seeing things, but I think I am finally starting to see some faint signs of growth on our little guy
Here are a few close up photos taken today.
Would you agree??
Is it true that Greeks tend to reach the 3 inch size after the 1st year?
Excited to watch this little one grow from a hatchling into a yearling.
And yet again, another scare today :dodgy:
I usually wake up every morning, turn off Squirtle's CHE, turn on his basking light, allow him to soak & warm up & then feed him.
Today was a busy day at home so I'd forgotten to feed Squirtle at his usual time. A few hours past & I guess out of desperation, hunger, or who knows what, he tried climbing his enclosure walls & flipped over,
AGAIN
I knew this time it couldn't have been more than half an hour, but found him on his back, arms & legs spread far out, head out & all the way back on the ground, seriously he looked dead
Flipped him over slowly this time, quickly soaked him & fed him to which he ate as though he'd never eaten before.
It's nice that tortoises aren't noise making pets, but at times I wish these little ones could cry for help when in need of help.
Swear he's going to give me a heart attack some day :s :s
But I love this little booger
