What does your turtle think of you?

[mikomiko]

Sometimes, I notice my Russians just staring at me for quite a while before making a decision to walk, hide or do whatever they want.

What do you guys think your turtles are thinking when they happen to just stare at you and you guys kinda meet eyes?



PS: here is my russian Tortilla with the selfie cam on.

" you poor, poor shell-less freak"
Or perhaps you are giving them to much credit?

Just like all my other animals, sometimes I'm glad I don't know what they're thinking.

Sometimes if I bring my tortoise something new that she doesn't like she gives me a look that I swear means "you expect me to eat that?!" And then she pushes it away with her foot and walks away huffily. it is absolutely hilarious

i think my guy thinks " if he doesn't have food i swear i'm going to lose it and tear this enclosure up"

 

[lismar79]

My russian waits in her food bowl if I'm running behind, I swear her look says - its about freaking time!

I'm pretty sure he thinks i'm crazy. Sometimes when I come home from work he'll be burrowed under something (usually the food dish) so I literally scream "NAAAAAAANNNK!!!!" over and over until he pops his head up.. then say hi and apologize for bugging him and leave... needless to say I deserve the crazy title he's probably given me in tortoise land.

I'm sure mine think I'm absolutely nuts too. They see or hear me coming they say to themselves "great, here comes the giant red haired monster again. I wonder what she's going to do to me next"

Yeah but I bet you don't yell to them while they nap and then leave when you successfully awake them lol, I know i'd hate it is someone did to me what I do to him lol, sometimes (ok often...) I come from work with so much energy because I sit all day that it kind of literally just flies out lol

I'm sure I scare the poop out of them when I find them in their hiding spot and "say hi!" And leave of course we all know this how we check in on them
