This is Chomper ( what I call him). I call him this because each time I put my finger to the tank he tries to "chomp" it. Ian caught this little guy last Summer at one of the parks. He has grown quite a bit since he has joined our family. We even had to get a new tank for him. He is a very quite pet. He eats many things but we feed it food from the pet store to ensure he gets all of his vitamins. As you can imagine, the cats all have a natural curiosity about Chomper. You can find Hermione on top of the tank at least once a week. (yes, we have a cover!!!) Chomper doesn't seem to even notice the big hairy being on top looking in at him. One of the most fun things about the turtle is watching him sun bath in the heat lamp. He puts all of his legs in, closes his eyes and basks in the light. He looks so peaceful, so content.......... I wish I could be so relaxed. Have fun in the sun.

Yes, I'd love to be as relaxed as he is! Now that it is summe, maybe I can!
ReplyDeleteHe sure has grown a lot! The food must be agreeing with him. I haven't been that relaxed in a long time. The Tigers keep me on the edge of my seat night after night.
