Howdy
My name's Desiree, I'm 19 crawling to nearly 20 and I am Portuguese (European, not Brazilian tehehehe). A year ago I moved to Angola, in Africa and I love it here
I have always been a dog/cat person but also never disliked reptiles at all. I actually do find turtles adorable and wish I owned a snake muahahaha. Anyway, in here people do not really care for animals as they should and I always see them selling monkeys and other wild animals, which they actually eat or keep restrained and mistreat. This one time I found a tortoise being held head down by a wire on its paw. It seemed nearly dead and I felt so sorry I bought it for so only 50 cents. I had no idea what to do with it but I ended up keeping it (cuz the nearest natural park is 6 hours away from the city). Since I have a big yard, I made it a cave with rocks and digged a lake and it's been with me for nearly a year now. An believe it or not, I'm still fighting over the propper name to call him (from what i saw online, seems to be a HIM xD) so I just call him cutesy and other fluffy names UASHAUAHSUHAUSHUAHS. I don't know his species but the closest thing seems to be some subespecies of Kinixys...?
Here he is (and he's also the one on my avatar ^^):
Now, about a month and a half ago, I found another cute thing in the same condition, hanging by a wire on its paw and again I felt sorry and bought for another 50 cents. This one seems to be aquatic and wont go out of the lake for anything much hahaha. And I think its a her (?). Anyway, I named her Shelly and I think its some sort of Pelusius species?
And this is Shelly :3 ...
And I love these two to bits
This is about it for my introduction...
Suggestions of names to the first one are needed
Nice to meet y'all :shy:
