We've tried putting some small fish into Kiki's tank, but found them missing in a few days...I almost saw a smirk on his face and heard a burp!!<br />Can we try and get him a mate? We're afraid he'll chew her up too!!

She is also the turtle I took with me to college. I got her when I was still a kid and I've had her for eighteen years. A couple years ago she went on a walkabout for several months before returning on her own accord. It was a day of great rejoicing.Hysteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044678910937934731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-56431546568351435262009-07-12T11:40:21.660-05:002009-07-12T11:40:21.660-05:00Oh, Ellen, I love this story!

One big snapping turtle came through our yard and was headed to our neighbor's pond. He wanted absolutely no help! I love turtles, and I love Big Mama.

I leave them alone as long as they stay out of my gardens. I will move them to a safer area. Well, except for the snakes, then I let the men take over as i assume the role of the helpless female.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-53014020438324361932009-07-11T08:02:44.885-05:002009-07-11T08:02:44.885-05:00How generous of you to accommodate her all these y...How generous of you to accommodate her all these years!

I also love the little mating ritual.PurestGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860331983741242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-15654287486741159592009-07-10T21:39:29.532-05:002009-07-10T21:39:29.532-05:00Argh, what a lovely, adventurous turtle. :)Argh, what a lovely, adventurous turtle. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
